Well, I was right. The Atlas of the Second World War that I have is a special Borders Bookstore Edition that I believe is now out of print. The original book, the Times Atlas of the Second World War was printed in 1989 and edited by John Keegan, someone you may have heard of. This book is of course of of print and pretty hard to find..but not that hard. I did a search at www.alibris.com and came up with two copies. One is a first edition in fine condition for $88. The other is in vg condition but is a book club edition. It's priced at $57. Where ever you end up getting this book I don't think you'll be disappointed. A quote from the dust jacket..

"This atlas plots on the ground, at sea and in the air, the exact course of the war - including the political, economic and strategic background. The finest specially designed cartography is combined with NATO military symbols to denote armies and fleets of every type and size. Every theater of war is delineated from the cities of Europe to the vast expanses of the Pacific, from the deserts of North Africa and the steppes of Russia to the dense jungles of Burma and South-east Asia."

As I write this I'm looking at a very detailed map of Arnhem with troop placements and schemes of maneuver. It even shows the parachute and glider landing zones. Good stuff.

Hudminen. Try the Harper Collins Atlas of the Second World War. It's a large coffee table type book with hundreds of maps, diagrams, and unit dispositions. It's really well done and a beauty to behold and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. I got mine at Borders Bookstore. I think it may have been a special edition reprinted for them. Anyway the ISBN is 0 7230 1007 2. Good luck. Let me know if you need more info.
