At 11.15am on September 3, 1939, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declared that Britain was at war with Germany. So began the deadliest conflict in history, whose scars remain to this day.
The Daily Telegraph reported on the Second World War with typical tenacity, as you will see from the pages of the newspaper reproduced in this book. Covering all the major events from 1939 to 1945, the book offers a blow by blow account as observed at the time.
Ultimately, Britain and her allies defied Hitler's hellish ambitions, but not without profound heroism, sacrifice and loss. From those who took up arms against the Axis powers, to the civilians who played their part in the war effort, this book brings their stories to life.
As the dust settled on the war, Winston Churchill famously said that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. As wars continue to erupt in the present day, we would do well to heed his words. Lest we forget.
