A History of the Second World War in 100 Maps

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Through 100 maps, largely from the collection of the British Library, Jeremy Black highlights how military cartography developed during the Second World War. With examples including Rommel’s annotated map of El Alamein, a photomap of the Rhine, and aerial approaches to Japan, he shows how mapping came to have an integral role in shaping the conflict across the major theatres, covering strategy, operations and tactics but also reporting and propaganda.
