Received through FirstReads giveaway...
Quite a massive book, though very enjoyable. I would say my favorite part of this was being able to read all of these contemporary accounts/viewpoints of WWII as it unfolded, rather than looking back with 20/20 hindsight, as is the case when reading a history written afterwards.

This is a huge book since it covers WWII. Two to three days a week I pick it up and read a chapter. What I have read thus far is well documented and seemingly unbiased. It will be awhile before I complete this book, but thus far I am enjoying the journey. I thank Goodreads and the publisher for making this book available to me.

An amazing collection of articles. I was fascinated and learned so many new things.. tragic pictures, terrible death numbers recorded, monstrous headlines. It was staggering to read articles in which people read at their breakfast table in the 1940’s.
But Gandhi’s fasting article kind of made me laugh lol

October 25, 2016Completely taken with the news as it happens , for the afficionado or just the history-minded reader.
Also basic education for those who did not grow up in the '50s with the newscasts and parents talking about what happened Its interesting how little our parents talked about what actually happened
