Review
"[A] worthy book for the shelves of the serious student of war, or for the coffee table of any reader who seeks a comprehensive history of the world's greatest conflict." --BookPage, May 2009
The April 12th e-newsletter distributed by the History Channel Magazine featured World War II as the one and only topic of discussion, distributed
More than 70 years have passed since World War II began in 1939. The conflict will forever remain one of the most cataclysmic events in the history of mankind in terms of the number of people involved, the men and women killed, and the devastation wrought by modern weaponry.
Through the years, countless books, films, and video games have kept the Second World War alive in the public's memory. But few titles have been able to visually capture the conflict's global impact in one accessible account. In DK Publishing's latest release, World War II: The Definitive Visual History, the war's influential figures, politics, events, first-person accounts, critical moments, and innovative technologies are examined collectively through compelling images including rare color photographs original maps, and graphics. This ultimate World War II guide describes each momentous episode of the conflict, while simultaneously giving an overarching view of the war intended to end all wars. --History Channel Magazine

"The treaties that ended World War I left many countries bitter and resentful and failed to establish a lasting peace. In the political and economic uncertainties of the time, right-wing Nationalist parties had a strong appeal, most ominously Hitler's Nazis in Germany."
The above is found on the cover-page entitled "The Seeds of War 1914-1938" of the first chapter of this amazing, comprehensive book that details World War II (WWII), "the largest and most destructive war in history." This book was assembled by DK Publishing.
This book consists of two intermingled parts:
(1) IMAGES. It is packed with images, even "rarely seen" color photographs as well as maps and graphics. Thus, they're not kidding when they say in this book's first subtitle that this is "the definitive visual history" of WWII.
(2) TEXT. All these images have to be organized and this book's text does it very effectively without overwhelming the reader with excessive detail. The text throughout this book is concerned with the following:
(i) Events: WWII began in 1939 and ended in 1945. Each chapter (that is, the middle chapters) is concerned with each year of the war. As well, there are two additional chapters. The first chapter (whose title and summary is given above) discusses the build up of hostility in the years (1914 to 1938) leading up to the war. The final chapter explains the aftermath of the war (years 1946 to 1950).
Each chapter is divided into subsections. Each subsection is composed of a double-page layout. For example, the chapter for the year 1939 (chapter 2) has nine subsections with two of these profiling people (see below) and one of these profiling weaponry (see below).
