A masterly pictorial record of the world at war, 1939-45.Here AJP Taylor, one of the great historians of the twentieth century, provides us with an account of the Second World War that is at once authoritative, vividly drawn and engrossing. The major battles and events, the complex personalities and the sheer scope of the conflict are all put across in a style that is pungent and a pleasure to read, and the text is lavishly illustrated with maps, photographs and reproductions of works by some of the great war artists. 'The most readable, sceptical and original of modern historians' - Michael Foot
