Mapping the Second World War: The Key Battles of the European Theatre from Above

Get a different view of World War Two. These 100 maps not only capture the broad sweep of events such as D-Day, but also the details, including a two-man X-Craft attack on the battleship Tirpitz. Together they give a fascinating overview of military strategy—the planning, the reconnaissance, the guesses as to enemy dispositions—as well as the debriefings and analyses that followed each battle. Many of the maps here were used in actual combat and include the illuminating original markings and captions.
