Campaigns, alliances, home fronts and occupation are drawn together in this DK hardcover, which treats the Second World War as a single global event with many simultaneous theatres.
Across 372 pages the book combines narrative text with maps, photographs, equipment features and timelines, an approach that helps when several fronts are active at once and a reader needs to see how one theatre affected another. Civilian experience, logistics and the political decisions behind the fighting are given space alongside the battles themselves, and the layout supports both continuous reading and looking up a particular campaign.
For reference:
