Very interesting overview of World War II, well worth your time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Pardon the cliche, but this is the type of book that once you pick it up you can't put it down. I really enjoyed reading this book and found the information both very interesting and full of facts that are both interesting and yet when it comes to the Third Reich and holocaust disturbing. The book is very easy to read and the facts are well ordered and contain both well known stories as well as lesser known facts. I also liked the "behind the scenes" type of stories used in the book. I only stop from giving this book a full five stars because there are several typos like the Philippines being given independence in 1947 and not 1946 and a lot of information is repeated in the book. Still I strongly recommend this to you if you're interested in World War II or even if you're interested in learning more about the period.
Very impressed with this book

Won't claim to be an expert on WW2 history, but I have read several book pertaining to the subject. I must say, this book has exceeded my expectations. It truly is hard to put down. I highly recommend reading this book!

I have 3 sons who are quite interested in World War II, one of whom is truly passionate about it. I'd forgotten most of what I learned about WWII in school until my 11-year-old became such an enthusiast. Recently we launched a website named World War II for Kids , and in the process of doing our research, we discovered discovered this book. It's a biggie (500+ pages), but it's broken into bite-size snippets that often give a different perspective on some topics that might otherwise seem boring to kids. It includes lots of great stories. I've had a hard time prying it from my 11-year-olds hands since it arrived in the mail. I highly recommend this book!
Great Book

I just got this book for Christmas. If you're a WWII fan I highly recommend this book. It is full of really short stories and facts about the war. The stories I've read so far are only a few pages long and are great for bathroom breaks.
