This book also looks at the enduring effects of World War II during succeeding decades. Expanded with an all-new guide to battlefield and memorial sites and repackaged to honor the 70th anniversary of the end of the war; World War II: The Definitive Visual History covers key military figures; pivotal battles; political profiles; and strategies; as well as features on everyday life on the Home Front as ordinary citizens did their best to aid the war effort. Gallery spreads feature collections of uniforms; weapons; and other equipment. Maps; timelines; and side panels offer an inviting variety of entry point to the huge wealth of information.

Rather than shelling out way to much cash for the actual text; I rented it on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9. It worked out fine; and saved me a bit of money. Too bad I hardly had to open it due to the plethora of power points that the professor gave out. *sigh*1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
