  • More about World Aflame: The Long War, 1914-1945


The World Aflame is a collaboration between Marina Amaral and Dan Jones that offers a moving and often terrifying perspective on the bloodiest century in human history, combining amazing pictures and informative words.

Format: Hardback
Length: 448 pages
Publication date: 14 May 2020
Publisher: Head of Zeus


The events of the first and second world wars are brought to vivid,startling life thanks to Amaral's skill at colourising contemporary images.

The epic, harrowing, and world-changing story – in words and colourized images – of global conflict from the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the obliteration of Hiroshima by the dropping of the first atom bomb.

The World Aflame embraces not only the total conflagrations of 1914–18 and 1939–45 and the international tensions, conflicting ideologies, and malign economic forces that set them in train, but also the civil wars of the interwar period in Ireland and Spain, wars in Latin America, Britain's imperial travails in such places as Ireland, Somalia, and Palestine, and events on the domestic fronts of the belligerent nations. Like The Colour of Time, this is a collaboration between the gifted Brazilian artist Marina Amaral, and the leading British historian Dan Jones. A fusion of amazing pictures and well-chosen and informative words, The World Aflame offers a moving – and often terrifying – perspective on the bloodiest century in human history.

A new perspective on the bloodiest half-century in history.
