商品簡介
The definitive, lavishly illustrated military history of World War II—both WWII volumes from The West Point History of Warfare series—now available for the first time as a boxed set.
Since its founding, West Point has taught its cadets the history of warfare, and since 1847 it has done so through a singular text, West Point History of Warfare. That text has been updated repeatedly, and now through a unique partnership with a not-for-profit created by West Point graduates, the entire series of West Point History of Warfare has been completely rewritten.
Now for the first time, the two WWII volumes in this series are available as a boxed set, providing the definitive history of WWII that draws upon the formidable resources of West Point scholarship and archival material. Chapters by distinguished historians, such as Richard J. Overy, Edward Drea, Robert M. Citino, and Geoffrey Megargee, cover all aspects of the war in both the European and Pacific Theaters. Both volumes include the trademark West Point tactical maps and timelines, created for this series, which show the progression of noted battles and military campaigns both on land and at sea; both are also profusely illustrated in full color with photographs, illustrations, and original graphics.
Beautifully packaged, this set is an essential gift or addition to any history reader's library.
