About this book

The Palgrave Concise Historical Atlas of the Second World War explores in graphical form, the causes, course, and consequences of this global war. Clear two-colour 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 tend to get less coverage in conventional military history atlases, but are vital for understanding the totality of the war experience and its enduring legacy. Students and general readers will find it a useful and accessible introduction to the war in all its facets, from its origins to its legacy.

Reviews

'For students following Second World War courses this atlas will be invaluable for placing themes in their wider context and for quickly ascertaining the essence of particular military phases of the war. Its clear language and lively tone are complemented by its admirably deft reflection of the results of recent research.' - Robert Mackay, Department of International Studies, Nottingham Trent University, UK

'...provides a very helpful quick-reference for anyone confused about the complex geography and history of the Second World War. The author succeeds in conveying concisely the main essentials of the Second World War.' - Russell A. Hart, Hawai'i Pacific University
