World War II (DK Eyewitness) Hardcover

Uniforms, weapons, propaganda posters and personal objects carry the story of the Second World War through this Eyewitness volume. The book moves across the causes of the conflict, the main theatres of fighting, life on the home front and the war's end, with each spread built around photographed artefacts and captioned detail. The approach gives a young reader concrete things to look at before the larger events are explained, which makes a complicated period easier to hold on to. The hardcover edition runs 72 pages. Points to note: • Artefact photography used to anchor each stage of the conflict • 72 hardcover pages in the Eyewitness series • Coverage of home-front life alongside military events • Pitched at readers of roughly nine to twelve years Well matched to school history projects and young readers starting on the period, published by DK Children and available at Boipoka.
