World War IIis divided into nine chronological chapters, each introduced by a general overview of the military and political situation. This is followed by a comprehensive timeline, covering events in all theaters of the war.
The first chapter "The Seeds of War, 1913-1938" has the following sections: Introduction, Timeline, Fascism and Nazism, Benito Mussolini, Hitler Takes Power, The Nazi State, The Berlin Olympics, Civil War in China, Japan on the March, Rise of the Axis, and more.
The main spreads are interspersed with features, eyewitness accounts, and galleries of weaponry and equipment.
This title differs from DK's previous World War II title, in that it is a spread-by-spread account la History (with "previous" and "following" tabs placing each spread in chronological context) of the war, rather than a narrative that needs to be read from start to finish.
