World War II Day by Day Mini Book

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 the years from 1939 to 1945, and each year will begin with a brief introduction that offers the reader an overview of the year's events, thereby placing what follows in context.
