Description

The Second World War is a clear and informative account of one of the most significant events in history. This book tells the story of how the war began, the infamous battles, and the conclusion and aftermath of the conflict.

Illustrated with maps, evocative archive photographs and illustrations, the book includes descriptions of the most famous events of the war, such as Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, D-Day, and the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Produced in association with the Imperial War Museum, London, this book is part of the Usborne Reading Programme, designed for children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex information. The book is divided into chapters that explore the rise of Hitler, the Blitzkrieg, the Tiger and the Bear, and the ultimate victory and aftermath of the war.
