The war, which began in Europe in 1939 in response to Hitler's invasion of Poland, escalated into a conflict of global proportions. This book describes the military manouvres and tactics that helped determine the victories and defeats that changed the course of the Second World War. How did the Allies secure their successes in the Mediterranean and the Pacific? What was the nature of the fighting in Eastern Europe? What was the impact of the US and Japan entering the war? How did the Allies win back Nazi-occupied territories? Through clear, well-written, authoritative text packed with useful information and fascinating, thought-provoking photographs, paintings, posters, cartoons and maps, these questions are answered alongside analytical detail of some of the famous battles of World War II - in north Africa, in the Pacific, on the Eastern front, in the Atlantic and in Normandy.
