This is a very worthwhile book, put together by the knowledgable and experienced Martin Gilbert. However, there are some drawbacks that the potential buyer should be aware of. Technical considerations: The pages are not large, and the text boxes frequently crowd the maps themselves. I have no problem with the maps being in black and white but know that some readers will have an issue with this. Sometimes the maps contain inaccuracies (e.g. Beda Fomm is indicated considerably north east of Benghazi, rather than to the south). Odd pages from the introduction appear incorrectly in the middle of the index. Editorial considerations: Gilbert has arranged each map to tell a self-contained story; sometimes this puts too much pressure on one map (e.g. the complex North African campaign occupies a single map), while other maps are hyperfocused (e.g. Soviet Women Snipers on the Eastern Front). Gilbert's book is otherwise an informative (and well-indexed) work of scholarship, but if you only buy one book of Second World War maps, think seriously before choosing this one.

The atlas covers all the major events from the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 to the defeat of Japan in August 1945. Focusing on the human - and inhuman - aspects of the war, The Routledge Atlas of the Second World War includes examination of: military, naval and air campaigns on all the war fronts the war on land, at sea and in the air the economic and social aspects of the war the global nature of the war, in armed combat and in suffering the impact of the war on civilians, both under occupation, and as deportees and refugees the aftermath of the war: post-war political and national boundaries; war graves; and the human cost of the war on every continent. This paperback edition includes several updates to existing maps, as well as ten new maps, specially drawn for this edition. The new maps include examinations of Japanese- American and African- American soldiers serving with the United States Army, British women special agents, Belgium at War, and the German occupation of the Channel Islands.
