Publisher's summary

The Second World War was one of the most traumatic events in human history. Across the world, existing conflicts became connected, entangling nations in a vast web of violence. It was fought on land, sea, and air, touching every inhabited continent. Over 55 million people died, some of them combatants, some civilians caught up in the violence, and some murdered by their own governments. It was the war that unleashed the Holocaust and the atomic bomb upon the world. But it was also a war that featured acts of courage and self-sacrifice on every side.

Interesting Fats

A lot of interesting facts and theories of unexplained mysteries in WWII. Good research. It leaves you wanting to pursue many things even more. I am fascinated by WWII as both of my brothers served in that war, and my father in WWI. I was a child then but have such lasting memories of that war.

I enjoy history

I started listening to it at friends. Because I enjoy history I bought this. It does an excellent job of providing not only historical knowledge just the feeling of the war.

This AUDIObook is ideal

This AUDIObook is ideal! It describes fights, gives personal stories, and concentrates on specific artwork and writing skill to piece this book collectively. The result is an amazing book!

Great guide

This is a part of history that should be copied to fresher people to obtain them informed of the crimes that mad rulers are made to go to follow their beliefs. The damages caught by all in this fight could well be managed if some present-day administrators are stupid enough to push the NUCLEAR BUTTON. God deny that this always results.

Its Quite Interesting

It is quite interesting. Contains stories about WWII one would not here watching documentaries or simply taking classes. It is quite a well-explained book.

Very exciting and a lot of great entrance

Very exciting and a lot of great entrance into the individual struggles that people had such an awesome time in world history. The writer doesn't remove any knocks and does his best to give the clear and insightful examination of the motives of some steps from the Allied to Axis warlords as well as the inferior people who had to buy with the choices made by their management for better or worse.

Deadly History

Lots of history that isn't in the books. It was a very interesting book. I wished her would've gone into the background of the mysteries a little more.
