This includes both Volume 1 and 2. This is a retired library reference book and is in fantastic shape and looks to have been barely used. No writing, highlighting or creases on the pages. It looks like these were probably just skimmed through once or twice. There are the usual marking of a library book, such as barcode stickers and For Reference Not to be Taken Stickers on the back  and a Library Stamp on the page edge. Aside from the labels this is in excellent shape! Super hard set to find!    "The causes, events and legacy of World War II are the subjects of this 2-vol. set.
