World War II

This is a reference book that looks at World War II in a whole new way. It is all quotations: from speeches, news accounts, memoirs, and interviews. It is captured documents and material from Ultra and Magic - operations that broke the German and Japanese secret codes. It is the major political and military figures of the war - and a lot of hitherto unknowns. It is also a lexicon of slang, nicknames, and code names; it is war movies and war songs. More than 300 individuals are represented, from Allied to neutral to Axis Sources.
