World War II Day by Day offers a tightly organized, almanac-style chronology of the global conflict from 1939–1945, recording diplomatic, political, social and military developments on a day-by-day basis. Rather than focusing on a single front or unit, the volume synthesizes major campaigns, key battles and strategic shifts across the European and Pacific theaters into a continuous timeline, making it ideal for readers who want a clear, war-wide narrative and quick-reference account of how events unfolded day to day.

Compiled by Donald Sommerville and published by Dorset Press (New York, 1989), this large-format reference (approx. 31 cm) runs some 320 pages and is presented in an illustrated, almanac-style layout that pairs concise entries with supporting photographs and graphics; the 1989 edition is identified by ISBN 0880293330 / ISBN13 9780880293334. Its scope and layout make it useful to general readers, students and researchers seeking a compact, event-by-event reference to World War II.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.

Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.

Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.

Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.

Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
