War on Paper The

The written word has always played a crucial role in determining world history, and never is this more obvious than during conflict. The book tells the story of the Second World War through twenty key documents, each one making a significant difference to the course of the twentieth century. Military orders and political agreements determined the nature of the fighting, while more personal records would have direct impact on the fate of individuals and, in some cases, even society itself. This book showcases a wealth of rarely seen and newly photographed material from the world famous archives of the Imperial War Museum. Among the examples are papers written by and concerning key figures, military leaders and wartime personalities as Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, Bernard Montgomery, Odette Sansom and Douglas Bader. -- Back cover.
