New Books from the Library: World War II Is Subject of New Publication

摘要

More than 60 years after its conclusion, World War II continues to be a subject for study and conjecture. In recent years, the subject has been enriched by oral histories from the men and women who served on the front lines and the home front. A unique addition to this scholarship, "The Library of Congress World War II Companion," by Margaret E. Wagner, Linda Barrett Osborne and Susan Reyburn, has been published in association with Simon & Schuster. Edited and with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy, this comprehensive, one-volume, fact- and quote-filled resource documents the harrowing years from 1937 through 1945, when totalitarianism threatened to engulf the world.
