It was not one single event, but rather the confluence of many simultaneous conflicts across the globe - on land, in the air, across the sea and beneath it. The state of 'total war' revealed nations in turmoil, destroying the boundaries between civilians and combatants and unleashing violence, death and destruction on a scale never previously experienced. This authoritative, immersive account of a conflict that forever reshaped the geopolitical landscape is told not only through compelling photographs of wartime events and detailed maps, but also through a series of artefacts that convey the real-life stories of those involved, from Europe, Asia, the United States and beyond. 0Published to coincide with the much-anticipated opening of the new Second World War and Holocaust galleries at the Imperial War Museums, London, in 2021, Total War is an essential volume for anyone with an interest in the everyday realities of one of the most brutal and significant wars in modern history. Many unique images from the IWM's Second World War and Holocaust collection are included, some being published for the first time. From German-Jewish passports and dolls made by Latvian war refugees, to Molotov cocktails and US bomber squadron flying gear, the book delves into the significance behind the deeply moving objects reproduced. With precision, sensitivity and a truly global approach, Total War offers a strikingly original visual perspective on an emotive and often controversial subject. 505 00 |gCh. 1 |tPeace Lost -- |tDisturbers Of The Peace: Japan, Italy And Germany -- |tWorld Of The 1930S And Fear Of Total War -- |tHitler's March To War -- |gch. 2 |tWar Engulfs Europe -- |tDestruction Of Poland And The 'Bore War' -- |tWar Comes To Scandinavia -- |tGermany Strikes In The West -- |tTrapped At Dunkirk -- |tFall Of France -- |gch. 3 |tBritain's War -- |tBritain Alone? -- |tBattle Of Britain -- |tBlitz -- |tFighting Back -- |gch. 4 |tGlobal War -- |tWar In Africa, The Middle East And The Mediterranean -- |tGermany Invades The Soviet Union -- |tRapid Japanese Conquests In Asia And The Pacific -- |tBattle Of The Atlantic -- |tLife Under Axis Occupation -- |tUnlikely Allies: Britain, The United States And The Soviet Union -- |gch. 5 |tVictory In The Balance -- |tBombing Germany -- |tWar In Eastern Europe 1943 -- 1945 -- |tAttempt To Annihilate Europe's Jews -- |tWar In Asia 1943 -- 1945 -- |tWar In Italy -- |tWar In Western Europe -- |gch. 6 |tEnd And After -- |tGermany Surrenders -- |tLiberating The Camps -- |tJapan Surrenders -- |tAftermath Of War -- |tLegacy Of Total War. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 World War, 1939-1945. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |vPictorial works. 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945. |0(CaQQLa)201-0056582 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |vOuvrages illustrés. |0(CaQQLa)201-0054932 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Illustrated works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 Pictorial works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 Illustrated works. |2lcgft |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026111 700 1 Cornish, Paul, |eauthor. 700 1 Hawkins, Vikki, |eauthor. 700 1 MacMillan, Margaret, |d1943- |ewriter of foreword. 852 0 |bscstacks |hD743 |i.C524 2021
