Opis

This work is a chronology of World War I and World War II spanning the entire period of 31 years, complemented by more than 900 photographs and maps. It presents not only the events of the two world wars, but also of the interwar period, when there was fighting and political upheaval in many areas of the world, from Russia to Spain to China. The chronological approach of World in Conflict allows the reader to comprehend the battles on land, at sea, and in the air, on all fronts across the international arena. Major battles are presented in map form for ease of understanding. Strategic moves and political events across the globe are detailed day by day, month by month. Headings within each date entry enable the reader to trace the history of a particular theatre of war or campaign throughout the narrative.

Recenzje

"The time between 1914 and 1945 has frequently been referred to as a second Thirty Years' War, encompassing as it did two world wars and an inter-war period marked by frequent regional conflicts. A number of chronicles are available for both global conflicts, but this source, compiled by two British journalists, attempts to provide a chronological overview of the entire period." -- Choice
"Arranged chronologically, this book offers data about the politics, technology, and war status of various nations and fronts for both WWI and WWII, the Russian Revolution, and the Spanish Civil War. Each page is filled with b&w photographs depicting some of the most amazing and horrifying moments of the 20th century." -- Reference and Research Book News
