.Colossus: The Secrets of Bletchley Park's Code-breaking Computers
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: B. Jack Copeland

February 23, 2006
A very interesting book written by those who were involved. Much easier to read than Paul Gannon's book as it is personal rather than historical from documents. A very interesting book and I can thoroughly recommend it.

.Carve Her Name with Pride (Pen & Sword Military Classics)

by: Rubeigh James Minney

I read this book as a child and have remembered it ever since. Now I'm buying copies for my nieces, so that they know about the sacrifices British women have made over the years. Particularly since Violette Szabo died so young.

.Nazism 1919-1945, Volume Three: Foreign Policy, War and Racial Extermination. A Documentary Reader (Exeter Studies in History): 3
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: Jeremy Noakes

August 01, 2001
I was fortunate enough to study this text for my undergraduate degree, I am of German decent but ostensibly English. This text gives a documatary insight into the horror suffered by both Slavonic and Germanic peoples alike. If your looking for the entire documents look elsewhere here the authers present only the pertinent information. However do not presume that this leads in any way to a bias on the authers part, in my opinion they present the subject matter in an impartial light, which perhaps heightens the sense of the tragedy which is told within these pages. A word of caution, the description, particularly those provided by medical witnesses is graphic and not undistubing. I would give all of this series 5 stars however, personal ... Read More:

.Milligan's War: The Selected War Memoirs of Spike Milligan
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: Spike Milligan

August 03, 1989
Having read the 4 war memior books I then read this compressed version and relived the war according to Milligan. The man is a genius!! Although seemingly trivial you become aware of the effect war has on a mind. All the favourite/funniest stories are there and for those of you who want a quick introduction to the mind of Milligan this is the book to read. Well thumbed I am now on my 2nd copy. A book you can read and re-read and still find bits you missed before.

.Fascism: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: Kevin Passmore

August 22, 2002
This book deals primarily with how fascism emerged and how it competed in the fledgling democracies of inter war Europe (1918-39). The chapters are divided up neatly, one analysing the appeal of fascism to women, the other looking at how fascism appealed to social class. There are also frequent mentions of how on the one hand conservatives can neuter fascism with tough policies, but sometimes instead legitimise fascism with these same policies. There is also an analysis of neo-fascism in Europe, with a focus on individual nations like France, Russia and Italy which have experienced far-right revivals. One feature is the author's academic rigour and discipline. He continuously reminds us of the fluidity of defining fascism, and urges readers to ... Read More:

.Colditz: The Full Story
City Travel Guides > Books > World War II 1939-1945
by: P.R. Reid

May 10, 2002
In Reid's 3rd and final book focusing exclusively on Oflag IVC, Colditz he adopts a different style of writing from his first 2, written some 25 years previously. In this book he discusses life at Colditz from the point of view of POWs from all the different nationalities that made up the camp inhabitants. The passing of time had allowed Reid to bring in to his stories more background information surrounding events outside the camp and the influence they had on matters inside. The lapse of time between his first two and his third also allowed Reid to draw on memoirs of former POWs subsequently separated by the Iron Wall which, by the time of writing, had begun to crumble. Although some may say the book may have lost some of the narrative description of ... Read More:
