From the e-mail pile:

Dear Pinky, You’ve discussed various wars on your show, but one, large war that you haven’t touched upon much is World War II… I have heard many different opinions, but I would love to hear yours… Thanks! Kachie

My   reply:

Dear Kachie, My friend Teacup has the most succinct summary-characterization of the Second World War that I have heard so far: “World War II was basically a turf war between imperial powers.” I can go with that. Thank you for your question. Bunny
