Seventy years on from that historic day, this is the definitive history of the build-up to, outbreak and first few months of World War Two, from the events of early 1939, right through to the first war-time Christmas. Drawing on the Imperial War Museum s extensive archives, and published to coincide with a major exhibition at the museum and an ITV television documentary on the outbreak of the war, this book will feature the personal stories of real men and women who lived through the startling events of 1939, as well as those who were actively involved in the political negotiations and their aftermath.
