In the sweltering Pacific theatre of 1942, two naval battles would alter the course of the Second World War forever — and Images of War: The Real Story of World War II (Issue 12) brings those pivotal engagements to vivid, visceral life. Covering the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway from May to June 1942, this instalment of the acclaimed Marshall Cavendish partwork series chronicles the turning-point campaigns that shattered Japanese naval supremacy, drawing on rare archival photography, period newspaper reports, and campaign maps to reconstruct events with startling immediacy. Published in association with the Imperial War Museum, the series is renowned for its rigorous authenticity and its ability to place the reader directly within the chaos of combat. Each issue combines primary source documents — including reproduction wartime newspapers — with expert military analysis, presenting the Pacific war not as distant history but as lived human experience. The haunting photography section, Photography Under Fire, illustrates what the camera witnessed when survival itself was uncertain, leaving the reader to wonder what other untold stories lie waiting in the archives.
