At 7:55 a.m., Japanese carrier-based planes launched a surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet moored in Pearl Harbor. Thousands of lives were lost that day, drawing the United States into World War II and beginning a new phase of the war in East Asia. Pearl Harbor offers a fascinating photographic guide to this key turning point in World War II.

With the aid of over 300 photographs, complemented by full-colour maps, The Western Front 1917-1918 provides a detailed guide to the background and conduct of the conflict on the Western Front in the final years of World War I.
