Much as \u003ci\u003eLetters of Note\u003c\/i\u003e celebrated the great letters written through history, so \u003ci\u003eWords of War\u003c\/i\u003e allows the Imperial War Museum to showcase its incredible array of first-hand material to shine a light on how people journeyed through the 1939-45 conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTen chapters take the reader chronologically through the key moments of the war: from the retreat to Dunkirk to the battle of the Atlantic; the savage fighting in the jungles of the far East to the RAF Bomber Command's campaign in Europe; the discovery of the Nazi's concentration camp system to the war's ultimate conclusion at the Nuremburg trials. One hundred documents are researched and selected by the Imperial War Museum's expert archivists, with commentary from their head Antony Richards explaining the significance of each and placing it in context to the war's progression. Readers will be able to engage and empathise with the writers in a thought-provoking and immediate way., \u003cbr\u003e, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Imperial War Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472288114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472288110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Headline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.64w x 1.42d","brand":"Imperial War Museum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44065816019199,"sku":"9781472288110","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c02d5d1-e427-4374-b0b1-57e16692f397.jpg?v=1685403664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/words-of-war-imperial-war-museum-9781472288110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
