World War II: The Mediterranean 1940-1945 (World War II: Essential Histories)

Grade 10 Up–Previously published by Osprey Books in 2002, this set provides a clear, objective military history of the Second World War. The books are written from a British viewpoint and discuss and analyze the war and its military and political consequences as an international conflict. Average-quality photos and superior full-color campaign and battle maps supplement the texts, and Rosen's new end matter includes American bibliographic references. While they will not replace popular titles written from an American perspective, these books will help advanced students see the war as a truly global conflict and are good supplemental choices.
