The Daily Telegraph

Record of the Second World War

Month by month from 1939 to 1945

Here, from the pages of Britain's most popular quality newspaper, is the first-hand story of the Second World War. The items selected are presented in chronological sequence so that the narrative unfolds with the immediacy and suspense it generated at the time. Contemporary headlines and photographs combine to convey the atmosphere of a newspaper seeking to cover 'total war'.

Besides vivid eye-witness accounts of the action in the various theatres of war by The Daily Telegraph's own war correspondents such as Christopher Buckley, Richard Capell, L. Marsland Gander, Douglas Williams and Cornelius Ryan, the book also contains many stories culled from the 'Home Front'. Alongside reports of such stirring occurrences as the Battle of the River Plate, Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, Pearl Harbor, the Fall of Singapore, the Battle of Alamein, the Dambusters' Raid, D-Day, Arnhem and the Atomic Bomb will be found evocative vignettes of the black-out, evacuees, rationing, land girls, the Home Guard and attempts at continuing everyday life. The trivial, touching and often hilarious detail is deliberately juxtaposed, as in the war itself, with profound and cataclysmic events.

With an Introduction by Max Hastings, Editor of The Daily Telegraph and himself a leading military historian, as well as an Afterword by the paper's Defence Editor and another distinguished war writer, John Keegan, The Daily Telegraph Record of the Second World War is divided into the years 1939 to 1945, each section being prefaced by an introduction contributed by Edward Bishop. There are more than 250 illustrations.

This evocative book captures the authentic feel of what it was really like between 1939 and 1945 and constitutes a compelling contribution to social history.
