Vorboten eines grausamen, weltumspannenden Krieges. Nach dem deutschen Überfall auf Polen und dem Kriegsbeginn in Europa bezogen die Alliierten ihre Kolonien in den Zweiten Weltkrieg ein. Zu den Befreiern vom Faschismus zählten Kolonialsoldaten aus allen Teilen Afrikas, sowie Inder, Pazifikinsulaner, Araber, Mexikaner, Brasilianer, Aborigines und Maori. Nach dem Krieg geriet das Schicksal dieser Menschen in Vergessenheit. Dieses aufwendig recherchierte Buch, in dem zahlreiche Zeitzeugen und Veteranen aus allen Kontinenten zu Wort kommen, lenkt den Blick auf Aspekte und Auswirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs, die in der westlichen Geschichtsschreibung bislang meist nur eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen."
