The Second World War by Martin Gilbert

A comprehensive, chronologically structured account of the global conflict that examines the political origins, strategic decisions, major battles and campaigns across Europe, Africa and the Pacific, and the diplomatic and social dimensions of the war; it also documents the Holocaust and civilian suffering, the economic and industrial mobilization on the home fronts, and the war’s human and geopolitical consequences that reshaped the postwar world.
