Book description
This is a collection of short stories about some of the events of World War II and the people involved. Each story in this collection covers a different perspective of the war. Some of the topics include the battleship Bismarck, women aviators in the Soviet Air Force, the Nazis involved in the „final solution” and the develuopment of the atomic bomb and its use by the United States to end the war. All of the stories are fairly short, running from 10 to 20 pages. Enough to develop the main theme without too much detail. The stories are often sprinkled with first-person memories of the people associated with the story. This aspect helps one to grasp the impact of those troubled times on the people involved in the conflict. It includes stories that will be familiar to historians, but are probably unknown in the current era. The stories are real, and the first-person perspective increases their interest to the reader.
