Canadian Economic History Classic and Contemporary Approaches Book

Damn you, HBO, for rekindling my interest in this era of history, again. Now I've got MUCH more reading to do. I was looking for a comprehensive history of WWII that included new(er) scholarship on the roots of the conflict, particularly Japanese expansionism, and a focus on political and economic factors- not just battles and military leasdership. This one was well-reviewed, and, after a quick perusal at the bookshop, seems to fit the bill. Further bulletins as events warrant.
