The Hidden World War

BOOK 7 OF 9 · PEOPLE AND REMEMBRANCE
The Human Cost of World War II
The lives forever altered by the conflict.
A world war is measured in more than territory won and battles lost. This volume explores the experience of families, refugees, prisoners, wounded servicemen, children and survivors. Examine the destruction caused by genocide, occupation, forced labour, hunger, siege, bombing and displacement, and follow the difficult work of rebuilding lives after 1945. It is a compassionate, global history of the conflict’s human consequences—both during the war and in the generations that followed.

THE VOICE BEHIND THE COLLECTION
Meet Arthur Hargreaves
The past is best understood when we look beyond the dates and ask what people believed, what they decided—and what happened next.
Arthur Hargreaves brings the nine-volume World War II Collection together in a clear, thoughtful historical voice. The books are designed for readers who want to understand the full story—not only the famous battles, but the decisions, people, and consequences that shaped the modern world.
Each volume has its own focus, from the road to war and the campaigns across Europe, China, and the Pacific to lesser-known operations, fifty individual wartime stories, the human cost of the conflict, and its lasting legacy. Together, they offer a wide-ranging reading journey through one of history’s defining periods.
History becomes more meaningful when we understand not just what happened—but why the choices mattered.

Can I read these books on my Windows computer or laptop?

Can I read them on a Mac?
Yes. Macs can open PDFs using the built-in Preview application or other PDF readers.
Can I use an iPad or an Android tablet?
Yes. PDF files work with compatible PDF-reading apps on tablets. A larger tablet can be especially comfortable for full-page reading.

Yes, but the books use fixed-layout pages. A phone may require zooming and scrolling. A tablet or computer will generally provide a more comfortable reading experience.
Will they work on a Kindle?
Some Kindle models support PDFs, but the reading experience varies by device. E-ink devices may require zooming; a tablet or computer is recommended for the large-print fixed-page layout.
Can I increase the text size?
Most PDF-reading programs include zoom controls. Because these are fixed-layout pages, zooming may require horizontal or vertical scrolling.
Do I need to buy a special app?
Usually not. You can use a browser, a built-in PDF viewer, or a free PDF reader on most modern computers and tablets.
Can I read offline?
Yes. Once the PDF files are saved to your device, they can normally be read without an internet connection.

No. Each volume covers a different part of the history. Reading from Book 1 through Book 9 provides a broad chronological and thematic journey, but any volume can be read independently.

These editions are primarily text-based, with illustrated cover artwork. The sample shows the actual page layout. Do not expect an illustrated photo atlas.
Are the stories and events historical nonfiction?
The books are presented as historical nonfiction, and Book 8 includes accounts of documented individuals. The books are not independently peer-reviewed academic editions; the free sample provides a way to assess the style and depth.
Who is Arthur Hargreaves?
Arthur Hargreaves is the author name presenting the World War II Collection, a nine-volume history series written in an accessible narrative style. The books cover the causes, campaigns, personal experiences and lasting consequences of the war.
