Overview

Take a visual journey through the epic events of World War II with the art of Mort Kunstler 'World War II: 1939–1945' takes readers on a vivid journey through the most important events of the conflict, with illustrations by Mort Kunstler-one of American's foremost historical painters-and an inquiry-based text by renowned historian James I. Robertson, Jr. Young readers are encouraged to look for details and discover key moments of the war-including Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and the Battle of the Bulge-to learn how it really felt to be there. A timeline and short biographies of notable figures, such as Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, provide excellent supplements to each chapter.

No other living historical artist is as celebrated as Kunstler, and his work continues to attract history lovers of all ages.
