Each key event is presented concisely, with maps, photographs, and documents bringing the epic story to life as never before.

Special items include: Order No. 1 (the German order to invade Poland which led to the British declaration of war against Germany); the letters home of a British officer in Africa telling of his harrowing involvement in the battles of Gazala and Tobruk; and Montgomery's orders for El Alamein.
