The Palgrave Concise Historical Atlas of the Second World War explores
in graphical form, the causes, course, and consequences of this global
war. Clear two-colour maps and diagrams are accompanied by a facing page
of explanatory text addressing not just battles and campaigns, but also
clarifying the key social, economic and political aspects of the war.
These tend to get less coverage in conventional military history
atlases, but are vital for understanding the totality of the war
experience and its enduring legacy. Students and general readers will
find it a useful and accessible introduction to the war in all its
facets, from its origins to its legacy.
