فجایع جنگ جهانی دوم: فجایع جنگ جهانی دوم الفارسية 1403

The book The Atrocities of World War II, compiled and authored by Hamid Eshghi, fills a significant gap in Iranian scholarship by providing a comprehensive, independent study of World War II—examining its historical context and the multifaceted crimes committed by all parties involved. While scattered references to the war’s horrors exist in works related to individual countries or affected events, no prior publication in Iran had systematically analyzed the scope of the atrocities and their historical dimensions.

World War II, given its vast scale, involved complex political and military dynamics, making it difficult to assign blame in simple terms. While the instigating powers and those causing the greatest human and material losses are often labeled as guilty, the suffering of innocent civilians cannot be reduced to mere statistics. This book presents readers with documented evidence and narratives from both sides of the conflict, revealing not only the crimes of the Nazis and Allies but also the destruction and atrocities committed by the Allied forces themselves.

Eshghi draws attention to lesser-known tragedies that have been overshadowed by more infamous events, such as the bombing of Switzerland or Japanese war crimes that received far less attention than the Holocaust. In addition to documenting wartime events and atrocities, the book addresses the long-term consequences of war, including disease and famine that plagued nations for years afterward.

Despite its painful subject matter, studying this book offers a valuable perspective on this dark chapter of human history, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the devastating impact of global conflict on humanity.
