The Second World War Experience by Richard Overy

Victory The fourth and final volume in the landmark Second World War Experience series goes spread by spread through the gripping sequence of events that finally brought the war to an end--from the dramatic Allied landings on D-Day in the west to the atomic bombs exploding on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the east. The rare memorabilia tucked into the book includes personal letters from General MacArthur to his wife during the battle to recapture the Philippines, and Eisenhower's in case of failure message, drafted before the Allied landings on Normandy's beaches.
Roderick Bailey, a graduate of Cambridge and Edinburgh Universities and a former Alistair Horne Fellow at St Antony's College, Oxford, is a historian attached to the Imperial War Museum. He is the author of Forgotten Voices of D-Day, Forgotten Voices of the Secret War, and the acclaimed The Wildest Province: SOE in the Land of the Eagle.
