The First and Second World Wars - Set of 2

Product Description

The First World War laid the seeds of many later conflicts in the troubled twentieth century. No previous war in history had involved as many nations, killed and maimed so many young men in such a variety of brutal ways or destroyed nearly an entire generation. The Second World War was a titanic struggle against fascism and oppression that lasted for six blood-soaked years in the middle of the twentieth century. No previous war in history had been fought in as many corners of the globe. Through fact-filled narrative text, photographs and quotations, The Second World War examines the causes of this conflict, its violent course and far-reaching aftermath.
