"World War II: 365 Days" is a unique compilation of more than 500 artefacts that illustrates the complex and epic conflict of World War II, one of the most significant moments of the 20th Century. Drawn from the Library of Congress' vast collection of material, the book includes colour photographs, lithographs, political cartoons and maps. Moving photographs of soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy, a startling image of Hitler speaking to an enthralled group of Nazi soldiers and a colourful propaganda poster urging the peasants of Russia to join the communist movement all help illustrate the tremendous economic, industrial and social impact the war had on all the nations involved. Weaving together letters, speeches and first person narratives, author Margaret Wagner's revealing text captures the drama of the war and organises the events in twelve chapters with a running timeline to highlight the war's most pivotal moments.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Drawn from the vast collections of the Library of Congress, World War II 365 Days is a unique compilation of riveting text and more than 500 images, many in color, that reveals the drama and complexity of the greatest war in human history.Photographs, lithographs, political cartoons, maps, on-the-scene combat art, and other visual materials from all the major combatants, including much material rarely seen, combine to tell the interlocking stories of people caught in this epic conflict that raged across all the world's oceans and in countries from Norway to North Africa, Britain to Burma. Quotes from letters, diaries, speeches, and memoirs are included in the text and help capture the drama and scale of the war: the carnage and desperate bravery on battlefields from Normandy to Iwo Jima, the epic air and sea battles, the unparalleled brutality of the major Axis nations, the home-front sacrifices made by people in all walks of life and in all combatant countries and the miracle of mobilization that made the United States the arsenal of democracy.The book is organized into twelve chronological and thematic chapters that extend from prewar events that led to the conflict, through a year-by-year examination of the war itself, and into its aftermath. A timeline running throughout the book highlights pivotal events. World War II 365 Days is much more than a gallery of major figures and events: it is a vivid mosaic of the battlefield and home front experiences of the ordinary people who endured years of destruction and rending uncertainty. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR003651517
