Selected by two specialists in military history, this book offers a unique perspective on the Second World War by tracing its history through objects—from iconic items like the British Spitfire, the Purple Heart, and Hitler’s mountain retreat, to personal treasures that tell the moving stories of individuals, to official documents, medals, and badges. Organized chronologically, each one is accompanied by a brief description that highlights the article’s significance.
