World War II was the greatest conflict in the history of mankind.
It penetrated into every corner of the globe, from the Arctic to
the Pacific Oceans. Immense armed forces engaged one another in
battle in every type of environment, from the desert sands of North
Africa to the jungles of Burma and New Guinea. The Allied and Axis
forces met in brutal encounters ranging from small commando raids
to gigantic armoured battles. World War II Illustrated Atlas is a
comprehensive visual guide to this complex conflict. It plots the
exact course of the land, sea and air campaigns in fine detail,
enabling the reader to trace the ebb and flow of the fortunes of
both sides. With the aid of over 160 full-colour maps, every
theatre of war is covered. Contents include the land campaigns in
North-west Europe, Italy, North Africa, Russia, South-East Asia and
the Pacific; the naval war in the Atlantic and Mediterranean; the
great carrier battles of the Pacific war; and the strategic bombing
campaigns of Europe and the Pacific, culminating in the destruction
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This new edition provides another 25
maps showing the key raids and battles of the war, ranging from the
St Nazaire raid in 1942 to the battle for Corregidor in February
1945. The isometric map views give a new perspective on the war,
and are accompanied by detailed descriptions of the battles and
raids along with photographs from the event. This complete atlas
provides an invaluable work of reference for both the general
reader and the serious student of World War II.
