Purnell's History of the Second World War
''Purnell's History of the Second World War'' was a hugely successful weekly anthology or 'partwork' publication covering all aspects of World War II that was distributed throughout the English-speaking world. Produced shortly after the similarly accomplished 8-volume series on WW1, it was first published in 1966, being reprinted several times during the 1970s.〔(''Purnell's History of the Second World War'' ) in 96 weekly issues, with 32 supplements, partworks.co.uk. Retrieved July 2011〕
The magazine was notable for its use of multiple writers – many of them well-known military figures – from all relevant nationalities in order to present a rounded view of the subject material. This was combined with high-quality original artwork of the military hardware used, maps and numerous previously unseen photographs, some of them quite gruesome.
==Background==
Despite the name, ''Purnell's History of the Second World War'' was published by Phoebus Publishing Ltd in co-operation with the Imperial War Museum, which provided its research facilities, expert advice, official statistics and photographs. The now defunct Purnell & Sons, later British Printing Corporation, based in Paulton, Avon (Now Bath & North East Somerset), were the printers of the magazine. At the time, Purnell's were one of the largest and most advanced printing plants in Europe, and had developed a reputation for high quality printing, producing well-known titles such as the Observer Magazine and the TV Times.〔Goodman, Terry, ''(The History of Purnell & Sons Ltd and the British Printing Corporation )'', July 2004, ISBN 978-0-9547241-0-8.
