Publisher's Note First published in 1989 to mark the 50th anniversary of World War II, Gilbert's masterful history chronicles the entire war--from the German invasion of Poland in 1939 to the surrender of the Japanese more than five years later. "Surprisingly effective at reminding us that World War II was more than a series of battles and feats of arms".--Washington Post Book World. 64 pages of photographs; 102 maps.
