Description
The Second World War was fought in Eurasia, North Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. But what did the politicians and military know about these vast spaces they were trying to defend or conquer? What did Field Marshal Rommel know about the North African desert? What did the bomber pilots know about their target areas, Hamburg, Rotterdam or Pearl Harbor? And how was the respective political leadership able to make its geostrategic goals understandable to its own population?
Jeremy Black, one of the most important military and cartographic historians, selects absolutely unusual, fascinating maps, some of which have never been printed before, from the incomparable holdings of the British Library: Sea charts and air war maps, deployment plans, propaganda maps. It is almost impossible to understand the course and events of the Second World War without the possibilities and problems of the maps. And: propaganda maps became weapons themselves, in the struggle for popular approval.
