The lessons of the past 60 years show that while a third global conflagration may have been averted, & the use of nuclear weapons confined to testing, war remains an ever present evil; as much part of the human condition today as it was 4500 years ago when the first documented battles took place. World At War: 1945 To The Present Day examines the conflicts of the nuclear age. Contemporaneous reports & photographs from the Daily Mail archives, including many eyewitness accounts, show how the conflicts developed, describing the key battles, tactical decisions & turning points that settled the outcome.
