Review
...
The Oxford Illustrated History of World War Two is a thoughtful and
thought-provoking volume, which succeeds very well in bringing at least a
taste of the wealth of current Second World War scholarship to a wider
audience. There is much here to admire; not least the erudition of the
contributors and the eclectic and original selection of photographs ...
an excellent, concise and enlightening volume. As such, it is a worth
addition to the library of every student and every scholar of the
conflict. (Roger Moorhouse, History Today)
A stimulating and thought-provoking new interpretation of one of the most terrible episodes in world history. (Military History)
The
Oxford Illustrated History of World War II is an exemplary book that
not only provides an insightful and in-depth analysis of the war from
both sides, but does so while providing an astounding array of
photographs, some in vivid colour, of the real and devastating effects
of war experienced by both civilians and combatants. (Ireland's Eye)
Compelling
in its narrative, fascinating in its detail, magisterial in its
analysis, global in its breadth, Richard Overy, one of our outstanding
scholars of mid-20th Century history, here delivers a military,
political and economic history of WW2, aided by a galaxy of
distinguished scholars, that is essential, accessible reading for
general readers as well as students. (Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of
Stalin: the Court of the Red Tsar)
Incisive
essays by leading scholars, richly illustrated with unfamiliar
pictures, make this an ideal introduction to the defining conflict of
the twentieth century - from which our contemporary world still
struggles to recover. (David Reynolds, University of Cambridge, and
author of In Command of History: Churchill Fighting and Writing the
Second World War)
A
welcome and most useful addition to the historical literature ... the
photographs, many of them new to me, were a real delight. I recommend
this book to anyone interested in the war. (Paul Kennedy, Yale
University, and author of Engineers of Victory and The Rise and Fall of
the Great Powers)
combines
a breadth and depth not seen in much military history writing. The
skillful analysis of each chapter does not sacrifice narrative ability
to address topics ranging from the German, Italian, and Japanese conduct
of the land, sea, and air wars to the political intricacies of the
Grand Alliance, scientific innovation, and the cultural history of the
war ... Did this reviewer mention the illustrations? Astounding. (M. A.
Mengerink, CHOICE)
