Defining Battles of World War II (Hardback) Preorder

What's Inside?

Dispatched 25th May 2025

In Defining Battles of World War II we take an in-depth look at some of the most significant campaigns and key battles of the conflict, from early German manoeuvres in Western Europe and Hitler’s fateful decision to invade the Soviet Union, to the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor and Singapore. We discover how the US took control at Midway, the Soviets stood firm at Stalingrad and the British won the day at El Alamein, as well as the Allies’ final decisive victories as the war drew to a close. In addition to the fascinating features, we also bring you stunning battle maps, iconic imagery, and explore the key events and defining moments that led the world to war once again.

About this offer

Why does pricing vary from country to country?

All items purchased include the cost of delivery within the price. As the cost of postage can vary quite significantly between different regions and mailing locations, this is reflected in the price.

 

If you require any further assistance please get in touch through our contact us page.

How do you guarantee lowest prices?

Magazinesdirect.com is owned and run by Future Publishing Limited who publish all the magazines on the site. As such, we can guarantee our prices are lower than you will find elsewhere.

What is a 'rolling subscription'?

A rolling subscription provides continuous service until you choose to cancel. This means that you'll benefit from uninterrupted deliveries and you'll never miss an issue again. If you change your mind, you can cancel the auto-renewal at any time and you'll only receive the remaining issues for which you've already paid.

Can I buy a subscription if I do not live in the UK?

Yes, just make sure you select the relevant country above. All prices include packaging and delivery charges.

Can I buy this item as a gift?

Yes, all products can be delivered to the address of your choosing. The only requirement is that the delivery country must match the country selected when you add something to your basket. You can choose the specific delivery address as part of the checkout process.

Delivery

How long will it take for my subscription to be delivered?  

Estimated delivery dates for the first issue are displayed during the checkout process.  All subsequent issues should be received around the 'on-sale date' of the magazine except for international deliveries where it can take an additional 14 days (for UK based magazines) and 30 days (for US based magazines).  

I am missing an issue, what can I do?

You can request a replacement via your subscription management site www.mymagazine.co.uk. Alternatively, please contact our customer services team.

Can I choose my subscription start date?

Yes.  Subscriptions are automatically set to start with the next available issue to be published, but this can be changed (subject to stock) at the basket and checkout steps.  Between October and December each year, we automatically set gift subscriptions to begin in the New Year to avoid spoiling a Christmas surprise, but again this can be changed at the basket and checkout steps if you wish.

How do I download a gift card?
