This is a great single source of photos of the war. This is a huge book with 740 pages of great pictures and some black and white maps. It covers all theaters of battle and it shows action on the ground, sea and air. It shows the good and bad of war. It shows heroism and death. Anybody interested in the history of WWII should add this book to your library. In addition to the photos, there is a partial but still impressive chronology of events of the war that will help explain some of the photos. The author in many cases has linked the photos to the events of the chronology to give the reader a better understanding of the events happening as you turn the page. The book is very well done.

this book is amazing. it is an illustrated history of wwii. it is full of minute details and wonderful pictures. it is highly recommended for anyone interested in wwii history. it gives one a clear overview of what happened in this great war. it sheds light on heroes, leaders and common individuals. it presents in an epical way the drama of the war. it deserves reading over and over again. its selection of photos is superb. by just checking the photos, you get an idea of how horrible and devastating this great war was.

I first encountered this book in the waiting room at a Doctor's office, and knew it would be a great addition to my library. My wife's Grandfather, a WWII veteran, lives at our home with us and was the primary reason for purchasing this wonderful book. Our "Old Veteran" has hardly put the book down since it arrived. It contains fantastic photo's that I have never seen before as well as short and concise naration arranged cronologically. I felt this book to be an extreme bargain at the price I paid. The whole transaction was a very pleasant experience, with the timely arrival of the book in pristine condition, an added bonus

A definitive sampling of World War II photographs from both military and journalistic sources, this book is an excellent primer of the history of the last world war. All of the most famous photos are here, along with many less well known but equally compelling images. For the cost, this is simply a must have for a WWII history fan. Used copies have fallen to the point where you will pay more for shipping than for the actual book, making the book a steal. Highly recommended.
