World War II Day by Day

There have been many straightforward narrative histories of World War II, but few books have attempted to take a strictly chronological, approach to the subject. This allows the reader to see at a glance the key battles on land, at sea, and in the air, the strategic moves, and the political events that occurred across the globe during a particular month, thus providing a snapshot overview of the state of the conflict at one particular moment. The book covers they years from 1939 to 1945, and each year Wil begin with a brief introduction that offers the reader an overview of the year's events, thereby placing what follows in context.Anthony Shaw is the author of 'World War II Day by Day', published 2000 under ISBN 9780760309391 and ISBN 0760309396.
