World War II: The Definitive Visual History book on Amazon

This big book comes chock full of reliable information from the Smithsonian. From the beginnings of the conflict, well before the first battle, to the final outcomes many years later, this book has it all. Divided into distinct time periods, each page spread covers one aspect of this world-changing conflict. Readers will find documents, photos, and much more to support the dense text on each page. Sidebars contain even more information in small chunks, while each page also features a highlighted quote from one of the main characters from history.

The tiny text means this book isn’t for the faint of heart. But if you know someone who loves their history, or wants to learn more at their own pace without resorting to a computer screen, this book can transport readers to a time of heroic deeds and deadly defeats.

My history-loving son has read and reread this book so many times we’ve both lost count. He loves the pages packed with facts and figures as well as the historical photos. He’s even been known to read it long after lights out and sleep with it overnight.

Bring history to life for any fan thanks to this visual record book from the Smithsonian.
