The Second World War was the most devastating war in human history. Every continent was consumed by conflict, and millions of combatants and civilians perished during military action and as collateral damage. This war also saw the first systematic implementation of genocide, with Nazi Germany conducting the Holocaust by killing millions of Jews.
Though the histories of battles, major players, scientific innovations, and civilian home fronts are all interesting, nothing quite conveys the impacts that the war had on the world like graphics. Each chapter contains a series of two or four pages about specific topics, like aircraft production, the capabilities of small arms, or the largest tank battle to ever take place. Illustrated with effective graphics, the reader quickly glances patterns that explain the various phases of the war and describe how Germany and Japan were ultimately defeated.
Fans of military history will enjoy the thoroughness of this book, and will learn many new facts and information that other histories do not convey.
