Hello all,
Another thread makes me realize this book has not been mentioned on this forum yet: https://www.amazon.fr/Infographie-Secon ... 262068259/
It's not in English but it's a breakthrough in presenting data. I think translations in other languages are on the way.
Infographics of WW2 (published 2018)
Re: Infographics of WW2 (published 2018)
Here is a quick translation:
World War II as you have never read. A world first.
Directed by Jean Lopez, with the collaboration of Nicolas Aubin and Vincent Bernard, and superbly directed by the data designer Nicolas Guillerat, this exceptional book, both in form and content, is the fruit of the association of complementary skills together for the first time. It starts from a fact: the mass of data available on the Second World War has never been so important but it has become difficult to make sense and, especially, to report to a wide audience. It was therefore necessary to invent, in a historian approach and drawing on the best international sources, a form that allows both to process the mass of data (data) available and make them intelligible to the greatest number. This form is computer graphics, and the result is amazing, that
In four parts - Mobilizations, productions and resources, Weapons and armies, Battles and campaigns, Bilan and fractures - gathering about sixty major themes - the oil equation, what is an infantry division? Operation Barbarossa, allied logistics in Europe, the American reconquest of the Pacific, the Nazi concentration camp system, the epic of free France, the German losses, the war in the desert ... - it is all the second conflict world which is here rethought through a particularly accessible form, deeply original and not less aesthetic.

Thanks for the translation - better English than what I could do
