Product Description

--Providing a groundbreaking perspective on World War II using maps produced at the time

The First World War saw an increase in the use and production of military maps, but subsequent global conflicts saw the systematic recording and processing of maps, charts, reconnaissance, radar, sonar, and geographic and topographical information on an unprecedented scale.
It is impossible to understand the events and outcomes of World War II without cartography at all levels.
The map itself became a weapon and had a decisive influence.
In this highly original work, Jeremy Black, one of the world's leading military and cartographic historians, charts the historical extent of each of the major theaters of warfare, showing just how fundamental maps were to the war.
Exploring the map of conflict through strategic, operational, tactical, reportage and propaganda means, the book's thematic structure offers a truly groundbreaking perspective.
This book tells that story through 100 important maps, many of which appear for the first time, from the British Library's unparalleled collection and other major cartographic sources.
