When the German Blitzkrieg smashed into Poland on September 1, 1939, the world was plunged into mankind’s most destructive war. World War A Day-by-Day History is a chronological history of the conflict from the start of the Polish campaign in September 1939 to the surrender of Japan in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. All of the major war theatres are covered, as is the fighting in the air and at sea. The dated entries, which are written as though they have just happened, analyze the major battles and campaigns of the war, such as Stalingrad, Kursk, Midway, D-Day, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Berlin. In addition, individual entries also discuss issues such as espionage, home fronts, politics and technology. The day-by-day entries in World War A Day-by-Day History are accompanied by longer features on various aspects of the war, such as the war’s decisive weapons, strategic decisions and policies. There are also biographical entries on the individuals who shaped and prosecuted the war in both Europe and the Pacific theatres, leaders such as Hitler, Chamberlain, Stalin, Zhukov, MacArthur, Patton, Manstein and Eisenhower.
