The two world wars of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 cast a malevolent shadow over the entire 20th century. This book takes you through the story of both conflicts – from the soldiers’ terrifying experiences in the trenches in the First War, to the huge battles and bombings of cities in the Second. Stunningly illustrated with dramatic contemporary photographs, paintings, posters and maps, this is an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to the two most devastating wars the world has ever known.

We bought this book for our 9 year old son on his birthday a few weeks ago. He is a big history buff so we knew he’d love this book. We were right! I have found that our children learn best when they don’t realize they are learning at all, by reading inviting books packed full of information. The book has 250+ pages of details from both World War I and World War II.
This book combines Usborne’s Introduction to the First World War and the Second World War.
Everyone at the party (adults included) took a peek at the book after he opened it. The illustrations were well received, they are just as the description says – stunning!
