World War II

From the Declaration of War by Britain and France on September 3rd 1939 to the horrific atomic conclusion of the war against Japan in August 1945, the Second World War drew every country into its grasp. Bloody campaigns in Europe, the Pacific, the East and the Middle East created a scale of carnage never seen before. 

This powerful, information-rich new reference book is organized by year, and then by month, and works, week-by-week, through the battles, the lives and deaths of leaders and ordinary people who suffered and strived through the chaos and the action. From Hitler to Tito, Churchill to the Dam-busters, this is the perfect source for home learning and background reading.
