World War II remains the greatest conflict humanity has ever seen, both in terms of scale and loss of life. The war involved virtually every part of the world from 1939 to 1945.

The Timeline of World War II is the perfect introduction to the war: an authoritative, chronological narrative divided into two parts that cover the European, Mediterranean, African, and Pacific theaters. It also includes special sections, full-color artwork, and archive photographs.

At the back of the book is a fold-out, double-sided timeline poster that profiles key events of the war in a unique graphic representation, with cutout images and color keys organized by themes and headings. A timeline at the bottom of each page links worldwide events with the fold-out timeline in the back.

Hard cover. 224 pages. Black and white archive photos. Color timeline.
