Whilst the First World War had seen an exceptional growth in the
use and production of military cartography, the global conflict
that followed employed maps, charts, reconnaissance, radar, sonar
and the systematic recording and processing of geographical and
topographical information on an unprecedented scale. It is
impossible to understand the events and outcomes of the Second
World War without deep reference to mapping at all levels. Maps
themselves became the weapons and had a decisive impact. In this
highly original work Jeremy Black, one of world's leading military
and cartographic historians, shows how fundamental maps were to the
conflict as he charts its historical sweep across each of the major
theatres. The book's thematic arrangement -- exploring the
conflict's maps through strategic, operational, tactical, reportage
and propaganda means -- provides a truly ground-breaking
perspective. The story is told through 100 key maps, many
photographed for the very first time, from the unrivalled
collections of the British Library and other major cartographic
holdings.
