Part of a four-volume series produced with the Imperial War Museum, this illustrated Carlton volume collects reproduced documents and personal accounts that span the six-year global conflict. It presents facsimiles of letters, diaries, maps and pocketed memorabilia alongside veteran testimony.

The book foregrounds primary sources: hand-written notes, orders and draft statements that illuminate decisions and everyday experience on multiple fronts. Material is drawn from political leaders, senior commanders and frontline soldiers alike.

Highlights

  • German order to invade Poland and early campaign documents
  • Escape documents linked to the Graf Spee
  • Montgomery's Dunkirk and D‑Day notes; orders for El Alamein
  • Roosevelt and Eisenhower draft notes; Stalin's wartime annotations
  • Letters and diaries from campaigns in North Africa and Normandy

Hardcover, 64 pages — a concise, source-rich companion for students, historians and readers seeking direct wartime voices.
