More than 60 years later, the Second World War continues to be a topic of keen interest. This comprehensive guide chronicles the war as it happened and provides details of key battles in Europe and the Pacific.

The stunning artwork in The Timeline of World War II includes more than 300 images, including rare archival action photographs and full-colour original works of art.

The timeline running through the text links key developments of each stage of the era, and the eight-page double-sided timeline poster profiles key events.
