This atlas explores the causes, course and consequences of World War II. Clear maps and diagrams are accompanied by a facing page of explanatory text addressing not just battles and campaigns, but also clarifying the key social, economic and political aspects of the war. These are vital for understanding the totality of the war experience and its enduring legacy. Students and general readers should find this a useful and accessible introduction to the war in all its facets, from its origins to its legacy.
