A complete chronology of combat day by day, battles front by front, land, sea and air. With hundreds of photographs, maps, graphs, and statistical tables of men and arms.
A detailed view, day by day, of WWII from the day hostilities erupted in China with Japan in 1931 to the official declaration of the end of hostilities well over a decade later. There were quite a few surprises, but perhaps the true gem is the appendixes listing the expenses of the war by equipment, casualties, etc., by nation and theater.
