For the first time in its history the Imperial War Museum is collaborating on a book that presents 500 of the best B&W and color images from its huge photographic archive, many of which have never been previously published. It is not simply a view of the war from the Allied perspective: the images come from collections on every side of the war - including Russian, German and Japanese. Accompanied by Richard Holmes's brilliant and informative text, this is an outstanding addition to the Second World War and will provoke emotion and provide enlightenment.

"If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then The Second World War in Photographs would be the most compendious war history yet..." (The Daily Mail)"
