The West Point Military History of the Second World War, in Three Volumes: Military Campaign Atlas; Europe & the Mediterranean; Asia & the Pacific

Complete in three volumes. First two volumes include black-and-white photographs and maps, atlas volume includes 135 color maps. This work was developed as a text for military history students at West Point and has never before been distributed commercially. It retains the qualities and the defects of its origins. It is essentially an expanded campaign narrative, at its best when discussing theater strategy and operations. Its volumes are well organized and clearly written. Its graphics are superb. It is anything but an uncritical apologia for U.S. performance.
