Eyewitness Guide to World War Two, Simon Adams
This book examines the historical background to World War Two and the preparations made by European countries for the inevitable conflict before going on to tell the story of the events of the war. Full-colour photographs and illustrations of tanks, aircraft, secret documents, maps, uniforms, and weapons offer the reader a unique 'eyewitness' view of the catastrophic events that changed the lives of millions of people. Areas of focus include, Resistance, the Battle of Britain, D-Day and Victory celebrations. The roles of Japan, the USA and Soviet Union in the war are examined as are the battle of the Atlantic and Pacific.
