World War II chronicle
Title:
World War II chronicle
Summary:
Explore World War II through this lively, highly dramatic treatment of the war that changed the world. From its germination in the aftermath of World War I to the final destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World War II had no precedent. Death came to tens of millions - soldiers and civilans alike. Europe's Jews suffered particular agonies. New technologies brought pinpoint artillery, enormous aircraft carriers, long-range bombers, mobile armor, fighter planes, dive-bombers, and submarines. By war's end in 1945, the combatants had introduced fighter jets, super-artillery, the kamikaze, guided missiles, and the atomic bomb. Hardly a person anywhere on the globe remained unaffected.
