* An eccentric encyclopaedia of the Second World War: the bizarre, baffling and amusing. * Contains over 250 colour and black & white images showcasing some of the weird and wonderful material from IWM's unparalleled archive. * A visually appealing gift format with fascinating and unusual facts, easy for readers to dip into

Welcome to Weird War Two, a catalogue of the weird, the wonderful and the downright eccentric, from deep within IWM's Second World War archives. From wacky inventions to elusive secret agents, from bizarre propaganda posters to the dummy acting as a decoy for a daring escape, from inflatable tanks to painted cows, this is proof that, as ever, the truth is stranger than fiction.

Peter Taylor worked at the Imperial War Museum for three years and is the author of Weird War One. "
