The atlas is in 376 pages, in red covers and paper colored dust covers with map of the world and title on front sheet and spine. Atlas divided into two main sections, first part includes world geographical, political, physical and statistical maps, and the second part depicting military historical and the geographical anatomy of the most important battles of history as well as showing battle formations and war strategies from many thousand years B.C. until the Cuban revolution in 1959. Atlas includes color maps, descriptive text, index to and 2 sheets of legends, with separate loose sheets of legend and Supplement to the Map of Asia- Language Division of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic p. 161.
