Publisher's Synopsis
Jeremy Black, one of world's leading military and cartographic historians, shows how fundamental maps were to the conflict as he charts its historical sweep across each of the major theatres. The book's thematic arrangement - exploring the conflict's maps through strategic, operational, tactical, reportage and propaganda means - provides a truly ground-breaking perspective. The story is told through 100 key maps from the unrivalled collections of the British Library and other major cartographic holdings.
