Excerpt from Pictorial History of the Second World War, Vol. 4: A Photographic Record of All Theaters of Action Chronologically Arranged Second world war dramatically pictures the sensational events leading to the complete defeat of Germany and Japan and vividly portrays the memorable and history-making scenes at the surrender ceremonies The battle for Germany is here completely documented by photographs. The reader actually sees the spectacular crossing of the Rhine and the break-up of the inner Reich as the Allies overrun it. The great Russian offensive is shown in stirring pic tures from Warsaw to Berlin. The whole amazing story of horror and loot uncovered in Germany is revealed in pictures that cannot be refuted. The final debacle in the Pacific is perhaps even more dra matic than the crushing of Nazi Germany. The awe-inspiring advent of the atomic bomb brought an entirely new element into the war. The actual bursts of the two bombs dropped on J apan are pictured as well as the damage done. The beginning of a new era is told in eloquent photographs. Although the global war had reached vast proportions in the sixth year, no important aspect of the war is omitted. Events in the Pacific, Burma, China and Borneo, events in Italy and Greece are all faithfully recorded as well as important political happenings closely related to the war such as the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the grisly end of Mussolini, and the rise to power of Britain's Clement Attlee.
