Summary

World War II, fought from 1939 to 1945, engulfed the globe in a shattering struggle over national sovereignty and individual rights.

This gripping and epic battle is brought powerfully to life on every page of Time-Life Books' World War II in 500 Photographs. Inside, you'll find: Key events, battles and turning points, Profiles of the war's leaders, heroes, and enemies, Memorable quotations and firsthand accounts, Color maps and photo timelines
