Each title in this series focuses on a past civilisation or period of British History. The history, geography and way of life are described in lively detail and explained clearly with the aid of colourful maps, archive photographs and accurate artworks. Many pages of activities encourage the reader to enter the world described in the book, and easy-to-follow instructions and diagrams enable him or her to create an artefact from these historic times. World War II describes the outbreak of war and why it happened, plus explains how people lived throughout the period and coped with food shortages, air raids and the influx of American troops prior to D-Day.
