This is a brilliant new historical addition to the "See Inside" series, looking closely at the vehicles and major events that defined the Second World War as one of the most destructive wars in history. Lifting the flaps reveals the insides of some of the military vehicles used during campaigns including tanks, fighter planes and aircraft carriers, while others look in depth at life during the Blitz and the action on the beaches during the invasion of Normandy.

This classic Usborne book has now been revised to include many brand new illustrations and it continues to stimulate and delight today's generation of children as it did when it was first published over 20 years ago. It provides a treasury of learning opportunities as an exciting talk-about book for the very young, a stimulating picture word book for pre-readers and a lively source of ideas and spellings for first writers. Stephen Cartwright's brilliant illustrations, with their wealth of detail and gentle humor, will give many hours of valuable entertainment and enjoyment.
