About this title:

"The greatest and most destructive war in history, World War II involved gigantic struggles not only in Europe, but in Asia, Africa, and islands in the South Pacific as well.

- Battle of Britain

- General Rommel's desert campaigns

- Sinking of the German battleship Bismarck

- Battle of Stalingrad

- Allied invasion of France

- Battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa

...and many more.

An informative caption accompanies each powerful, meticulously rendered illustration."
