Numerous images from the IWM’s unique Second World War and Holocaust collection are included, many of which have rarely been published. Published to coincide with the much-anticipated opening of the new Second World War and Holocaust galleries at the Imperial War Museums (IWM), London, in 2021, Total War is an essential volume for anyone interested in the everyday realities of one of the most brutal and far-reaching wars in modern history.
This immersive account of a conflict that permanently reshaped the geopolitical landscape is told not only through compelling photographs, maps, and infographics produced specifically for the book, but also through a series of artifacts that convey the real-life stories of some of the millions worldwide-from the United States to Europe, Asia, and Africa-who were affected by the war. Total War is an illustrated examination of the most significant historical episode of the twentieth century: World War II.
