Picture The Past: World War Ii: Historical Coloring Book

The most destructive war in history, World War II involved intense conflict in Europe as well as Asia, Africa, and the South Pacific. Peter F. Copeland’s dramatic illustrations capture air, land, and sea battles plus other major events — from the German invasion of Poland in 1939 to the Japanese surrender in 1945. Forty-five ready-to-color scenes include the Battle of Britain, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, General Rommel’s desert campaigns, the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Allied invasion of France, the fall of Berlin, the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and the dropping of the atomic bomb over Hiroshima. An informative caption accompanies each powerful, meticulously rendered illustration.
