Placing individual battles in context, an introductory essay by the editor provides a strategic overview of the whole of the war. The battles are thereafter presented in seven sections: The Armored Blitzkreigs, The Amphibious Landings, The Slogging Matches, The Airpower Factor, The War at Sea, Airborne Assault, and The City Battles. Each section starts with an introductory essay on the common theme of the group.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
We liked the Hutchinson Atlas of Battle Plans [RBB F 15 00], and this title uses the same "before and after" approach to illustrate military strategies and their outcomes. Chapters are arranged thematically ("The War at Sea," "The Airborne Assaults," etc.) and cover 21 battles, from the fall of France in 1940 to the Battle of Berlin in 1945. The war in the Pacific is not included.

Not worth it,
By Lane (SJ, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hutchinson Atlas of World War II Battle Plans (Hardcover)
Few maps for an atlas. Gives only basic, common knowledge of what happened.
