This is the story of World War II, told in the Life magazine style, with lots of pictures and short descriptions and the occasional longer essay. Told in chronological order, you can almost think of it as being a scrapbook of magazine clippings. As it was published in 1950, many things we have learned since about the war are not included, such as Bletchley Park and other code-breaking exploits, the work of the OSS, etc..
