Focusing on the often-overlooked people's militias during World War II, this history highlights their essential role in combating fascism, colonialism, and capitalism. By examining movements in Yugoslavia, Greece, Poland, Latvia, and India, as well as anti-fascist efforts in Germany and struggles in Indonesia and Vietnam, it presents a broader narrative of resistance. Despite their significant contributions, these grassroots movements faced betrayal from allied governments, which prioritized their own interests in establishing a new world order.
