Book description
How will the Second World War be remembered? Not as a series of
strategic battles but as a dramatic turning point in world history,
recorded through the personal accounts, diaries, and speeches of those
that were there.
World War Two: the Autobiography places centre stage the
individual accounts of over 200 people who saw events unfolding before
their eyes: from the first stirrings of Nazi aggression, to the phoney
war and the Blitzkrieg; from the frozen wastes of the Eastern Front to
life under the threat of the Blitz in London.
This autobiography offers a panoramic view of the conflict and
with entries from all the major figures of the war, including
Churchill, Field Marshal Montgomery, Hitler, Stalin and Rommel, as
well as accounts from the men and women on the front line, the home
front and those unfortunate to be prisoners of war, from all sides of
the conflict.
