Synopsis
"World War II" is divided into nine chronological chapters, each introduced by a general overview of the military and political situation. This is followed by a comprehensive timeline, covering events in all theaters of the war. The opening chapter analyzes the build-up of hostility in the years leading up the war, both in Europe and in the Pacific. Similarly the final chapter analyzes the immediate and long-term consequences of the war and the way it has shaped recent history. In the chapters that cover the events of the war itself, the main spreads move from one theater of war to another but are linked by an easy-to-use system of cross referencing to earlier events and the consequences of the actions described on the spread. The main spreads are interspersed with features, eyewitness accounts, and galleries of weaponry and equipment. This title differs from DK's previous World War II title, in that it is a spread-by-spread account a la "History" (with "previous" and "following" tabs placing each spread in chronological context) of the war, rather than a narrative that needs to be read from start to finish.", World War II is divided into nine chronological chapters, each introduced by a general overview of the military and political situation.

    Very unique bear piece and as described. The seller worked on the price for me. It was a great value given how rare it is. It has one tiny flaw and she was very honest about it. It was packaged above and beyond made the trip safely. I bought two bear pieces together and shipping was combined and reasonable given size and weight. Shipped the next day. Communicated quickly when ask questions. I have bought from her before and would again.

    My Seller packaged my Tupperware Smidget w/lid very well; mailed out quickly; maintained excellent communications; and it arrived safely and on time. This Smidget w/lid is in fact in "very clean/good used condition" as depicted in the photos of the listing. The turquoise color is as beautiful as an actual piece of turquoise and was priced so reasonably! My nephew will love finding this in his Christmas box this year! Great Seller!

  • Great Book for learning about World War II !

    I am studying about World War II and I purchased this book to get a better picture of the people involved in the war and motivations behind it. This book far surpassed my expectations. It has great pictures with many explanations of things I had and some I had not previously heard about. An excellent reference resource to go along with first hand accounts of what happened to individuals during the war. Highly Recommend!
