Exclusive IWM paperback edition

Total War is an illustrated account of the most pivotal historical episode of the 20th century: the Second World War. It was not one single event, but rather the confluence of many simultaneous conflicts across the globe – on land, in the air, across the sea, and beneath it. The state of ‘total war’ revealed nations in turmoil, destroying the boundaries between civilians and combatants and unleashing violence, death, and destruction on a scale never previously experienced. This authoritative, immersive account of a conflict that forever reshaped the geopolitical landscape is told not only through compelling photographs of wartime events and detailed maps, but also through a series of artefacts that convey the real-life stories of those involved, from Europe, Asia, the United States, and beyond.

Published to coincide with the much-anticipated opening of the new Second World War and Holocaust galleries at Imperial War Museum London in 2021, this is an essential book for anyone with an interest in the everyday realities of one of the most brutal and significant wars in modern history.

Many unique images from the IWM’s Second World War and Holocaust collection are included, some being published for the first time. From German-Jewish passports and dolls made by Latvian war refugees, to Molotov cocktails and US bomber squadron flying gear, the book delves into the significance behind these deeply moving objects. With precision, sensitivity, and a truly global approach, it offers a strikingly original visual perspective on an emotive and often controversial subject.
