| Publisher Description: Get a different view of World War Two. These 100 maps not only capture the broad sweep of events such as D-Day, but also the details, including a two-man X-Craft attack on the battleship Tirpitz. Together they give a fascinating overview of military strategy--the planning, the reconnaissance, the guesses as to enemy dispositions--as well as the debriefings and analyses that followed each battle. Many of the maps here were used in actual combat and include the illuminating original markings and captions. |
