5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you want to know about WW 2!
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017

This book gives information about WW 2 that you will never find in another book. It tells of WW 2 places, battles, ships, celebrities and their military service, etc. It can be picked up, read for awhile just for interest or it can be searched for specific facts. The contents are all in alphabetical order. I have the original edition in storage and it was easier for me - 85 years old - to order the latest edition rather than collar one of my kids to take me to search for the stored one. If it's strange and interesting facts about the Big War, this is the answer.

don McCombs was my high school history teacher and he had read excerpts from this book during his class. The parts he read to us were very interesting so I knew it was a must read. If you are a history buff you should take a look at this book.

A friend had recommended this book so I bought it for my husband. It was not what I expected, but to each their own. I wish I would have been able to see the book before I bought it. Just not as informative as we had hoped.

A must for all WW2 buffs, info. (even insignificant bits) on just about everything concerned with WW2.Names dates etc. About film Stars, celebrities, who served not just your Tom Dick and Harry joe public.
A mine of information on campaigns. Really good! Good value for money, as it is all under one cover!
