Translation of: La Seconde Guerre mondiale.
"The causes of the Second World War, which began in 1939, can be traced back to the peace treaties signed twenty years earlier after the end of the First World War. The deep resentment these treaties fostered eventually found its expression in a conflict which engulfed the entire world in six years of fighting on land, at sea and in the air, and was brought to an end only by the use of the most powerful weapon of mass destruction then known - the atomic bomb.
This book explains the chain of events leading up to the outbreak of war, the conflict itself, and the aftermath. It also presents a picture of daily life during this critical period in world history. The text is complemented by full-colour illustrations, original documents, photgraphs, paintings, news clippings and maps." --cover.
