New Zealand relevance. "Battles of world War II" vividly brings to life the major battlefields of Europe, North Africa, the Russian Front and the Pacific Islands: the battlefields where the war was lost and won.

Coverage includes: • Dunkirk, • Battle of Britain, • Stalingrad, • Pearl Harbor, • Battle of Berlin.
