Synopsis
World War Two was the most terrible war that Europe, and indeed the world, had ever seen. Discover the truth behind the propaganda with this brilliantly informative, infographic guide to the real statistics behind WWII.
How many soldiers went to war? How many came home? How many civilians were made homeless? How many bombs were dropped, and where did they land? With over 25 nations fighting the second world war on four different continents the numbers were staggering.
Covering a huge amount of content World War II in Numbers brings these staggering statics to life with easily digestible graphics depicting the conflict, casualties, weaponry, cost and technology, clearly illustrating the war's impact on individuals, whole countries, and the global social and economic effects that would last long into peacetime.

Review
The numbers of sources that simply quantify historical facts are few and far between. Peter Doyle provides in this unique book a resource that is not only useful, but attractive to the reader. Designed as a perfect companion for serious enthusiasts ... a fact-filled visual exploration for general readers, it tells the story of World War II in an original way; using infographics to convey the mass of data that can derived from all aspects of the conflict. In this effort the author is successful. Divided into six chapters, many aspects of the conflict are covered from the origins to the post-conflict.... The range of entries is broad... Narration, graphs, and pictures are almost always included in each. This work is highly recommended.--Scott Dimarco"American Reference Books Annual 2014" (09/01/2014)
