In this short narration of what happened during the year 1939, the author highlights the events that led to the second World War . Certain lesser known aspects of the events come to be highlighted in the book. The author draws a parallel between what happened at Gliewitz in Poland and and the Mukden incident in Manchuria. The first was a stage-managed event to invade Poland by the Nazis and the second one was by Japan to take over Manchuria. The book also mentions about the silence of the British and the French on the aggression by Russia against Poland when Germany attacked the western borders.

Good, broad overview of the events leading up to the Second World War

[Dj · Rating 2 out of 5]

In general, I am all for anything about WWII that is decent in the writing and good enough to bring more people into more interset on the topic. This book starts out with that qualification, but then it seems to lose most of it. Stating things in the simplest possible manner is great as long as you don't add falsehoods along the way.

To start with the book is called 1939 but most of the events, well up to the halfway point take place in 1938, which is interesting but seems to leave to little space for what was going on in the year the war did begin. The author also passes judgments that can only be made after the fact. It would have been harder to judge things in such a fashion at the time the events were taking place. All in all the book falls short of being a worthwhile read.

I love this series a great deal it's a great supplement

To the lack of information taught in school which talks about WW2 in only two paragraphs in the Ohio School system
