Description

This volume covers WWII from initial outbreak to final victory with news stories and photos from the Associated Press archives.

Victory commemorates the day Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allied forces in Europe: May 8, 1945, VE Day. It covers the war through contemporary Associated Press coverage of key events, plus gripping human-interest accounts. The stories and photographs are presented chronologically so that readers can follow the unfolding conflict as it was experienced by ordinary citizens at the time.

From Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, to Japan's ceremonial signing of surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945, each event is vividly brought to life through images and text from the original articles; historian Alan Axelrod provides insightful introductory text for each chapter.
