'Martin Gilbert's The Routledge Atlas of the Second World War is a riveting collection of original and informative maps.’ – The Observer
‘This really is a brilliantly useful book ... All in all, this is an outstanding reference work that can also be enjoyed as an unusual graphic history of the Second World War and its many political, economic and military dimensions.’ – Military Illustrated
‘Gilbert’s work is quite simply, a huge repository of information. It provides history teachers with the building blocks which enable them to use their skills of evaluation, prioritisation and contextualisation ... Here then is a gem of a book ... Unquestionably the Atlas of the Second World War will become indispensable.' – SATH History Teaching Review
'Historian Gilbert's latest atlas covers all aspects of WWII: military, air, and naval battles, compaigns, and raids; the sufferings of civilians, Holocaust victims, forced laborers, POWs, postwar expellees, and displaced persons; economic and social issues; and the aftermath, including locations of war cemeteries ... The Routledge atlas, while compact, contains 247 maps ... ' – CHOICE
‘Like all Gilbert’s atlases this is an authoritative, comprehensive and generally meticulously compiled and researched volume. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the breadth of the topics covered and the depth of information conveyed ... Indeed it is the non-military dimension of this war atlas that is probably the most distinctive feature.’ – Reference Reviews
