Originally published in 1959 as part of a two-volume set, "The West Point Atlas of War: World War II" provides a unique way of studying military history. From the Campaign in Poland in 1939 to Operations in Italy in 1945, detailed maps delineate the course of the many conflicts that defined World War II. They also create a fascinating visual tribute to the ingenuity of troop movements by detailing the progress of forces from day to day. The accompanying text provides insight into the many twists and turns of the war, as well as the motivation of the leaders directing the troops who carried them out.
