World War II classes have been, and continue to be among the most
highly enrolled classes in History Departments, yet there is a
serious lack of good supplementary materials to match with main
survey texts. This is particularly true for World War II atlases
and books in general outlining the geography of WWII. World War II
was pre-eminently a war of rapid and far-reaching conquest with
rapid and far-reaching movement. A good sense of world geography is
essential to grasping the magnitude and sweep of the contending
alliances in the war. The books that already exist are quite
lengthy and cumbersome to use in the classroom, not to mention
often much too expensive to adopt as supplementary texts. Every
reviewer agreed that a concise, affordable volume of maps was
needed in the market. Ronald Story has created a relatively short
book of WWII maps, which consists of 50 4-color maps covering the
most significant phases of the war, each with an adjacent facing
page of explanatory text. The collection covers both conventional
and non-conventional areas, and the layout allows instructors to
easily pick and choose which maps to use according to what they are
already covering or wish to cover in their courses. The explanatory
text does three things: explains features of the conflict in
question, shows changes in circumstances through map flows, and
suggests longer-term consequences of campaigns. This text will
provide students with a comfortable knowledge of the constantly
changing borders and populations, essential to understanding WWII.
Some examples of maps Story is includes are "Europe in 1914," "The
Invasion of Poland (1939)," "Japan Expansion to 1941," "The Red
Advance (1943-1944)," "The Conquest of Southeast Asia" and
"Post-War Europe" to name a few. Story construct his manuscript
from a list of maps he has already compiled and used as
supplementary material in his own World War II class for the past
20 years. His experience in the classroom makes him familiar with
what works best for students; this text will be a welcome learning
tool for the World War II course, and promises to have some retail
potential as well.
