What They Didn't Teach You about World War II
What They Didn't Teach You about World War II
The author recounts the human side of the World War II, telling of those who marched to recruiting stations, and others who stood in lines to buy meat for their tables and gasoline for their rusting automobiles, both heavily rationed commodities. This is the story of the vitality and resilience of human beings, more than of the violence of battle. Photos.
Packed with personal anecdotes and details you won't find anywhere else, this is the secret history of World War II. "A fast-moving overview stuffed with interesting factoids and historical tidbits . . . Casual readers will find themselves carried along, and hardened military buffs will learn much that is new."--Library Journal "It's almost guaranteed to make you so interested in the subject you'll want to learn . . .
