Total War: a people’s history of the Second World War
ILLUSTRATED BOOK
The Second World War was not a single event but a confluence of simultaneous conflicts around the world, each with a devastating impact for communities large and small. Total War explores the consequences of the fighting through photographs, detailed maps, posters, personal stories, and an array of other media. It has been published especially to coincide with the recent opening of the new Second World War and Holocaust galleries at the Imperial War Museum in London.

Churchill, Master and Commander: Winston Churchill at war 1895-1945
A quality that made Winston Churchill uniquely suited to the role of wartime leader was his lifelong passion for the business of war itself. Anthony Tucker-Jones explores Churchill’s military adventures in Cuba, India, and elsewhere, and how these experiences shaped his later decisions as Britain’s supreme commander during World War II.
