This book examines the experiences of millions of civilians in different countries throughout the course of the Second World War. For most countries, the Second World War was unlike most previous wars in that it was not confined to distant battlefields between trained military men but was also fought in the streets of cities and squares of small villages. Women, and children in some cases, joined the work force in a desperate attempt to win their country's ware. Millions of civilians - far more than the number of soldiers - died in death camps, in their own homes as bombs fell, at the hands of their own governments, or by starvation as enemy forces ravaged their countries. Panels explaining the role of key events and individuals are scattered throughout as are fascinating photos and maps to illustrate this important part of world history.
