History of World War II retraces the world's deadliest war as seen through the original reporting of The New York Times. Packed with over 85 historical reprints of Times pages chronicling every major campaign and battle, this reissue provides first-hand accounts of the fighting from the front lines by correspondents and photographers from 1939 to 1945.

Many pages haven’t been seen in decades, found in the newspaper’s renowned archives, and reprinted here with full-page reproductions to show headlines, photos, maps, secondary articles, and advertisements that capture war's global impact, from the battlefield to the home front.

The updated edition includes a brand-new introduction with exclusive photography uncovered in the Times archive. For the first time, it also contains coverage of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II with a special reprinting of “Beyond the World We Know,” a 24-page special section that explores the war’s unsung history.
