Reviews

[Robert Hepple · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although this edition was published in 2000 by PRC, this is a reprint of the 'Encyclopaedia of World War II', first published in 1977. Curiously, the modern imprint makes no mention of Keegan, but does mention that minor changes have been made by Chris Ellis. Either way, it is a terrifically researched book on the subject with an amazing selection of illustrations.
