"History of World War II" revisits the world's deadliest conflict through the original reporting of The New York Times. This unique volume contains over 85 historical reprints of Times pages, documenting every significant campaign and battle. It offers first-hand accounts from correspondents and photographers on the front lines. Acting like a newsreel, this anthology presents the startling onset of the war, major battles, key military figures, and pivotal decisions from 1939 to 1945. Many pages, unseen for decades, have been retrieved from the newspaper’s esteemed archives and are reprinted here. Full pages are replicated to show headlines, photos, maps, side articles, and ads that convey the war's global impact, from the battlefield to the home front.

The updated edition includes a fresh introduction featuring exclusive photography uncovered in the Times archive. For the first time, it also features the Times coverage of the 75th anniversary of World War II’s end, with a special reprint of “Beyond the World We Know,” a 24-page section exploring the war’s lesser-known history.
