There have been many straightforward narrative histories of World War II, but few books have attempted to take a strictly chronological, approach to the subject. This allows the reader to see at a glance the key battles on land, at sea, and in the air, the strategic moves, and the political events that occurred across the globe during a particular month, thus providing a snapshot overview of the state of the conflict at one particular moment. The book covers the years from 1939 to 1945, and each year will begin with a brief introduction that offers the reader an overview of the year's events, thereby placing what follows in context.

When the German Blitzkrieg smashed into Poland on September 1, 1939, the world was plunged into mankind's most destructive war.

Dated entries recapture the immediacy of the war, analyze the major battles and campaigns of the war, and discuss espionage, home fronts, politics, and technology. Included are bibliographical entries on the individuals who shaped and prosecuted the war.
