Second World War Diary: April 1942
World War II rises in its vastness and complexity over the rest of human history. A number of victims difficult to conceive, never surpassed by any other conflict; the masses of men, women and resources mobilized in a conflict that shook even the most remote ends of the planet; the ideological battle between totalitarianism and democracy, between fascism and communism, the passions and hatred that it aroused; the unimaginable horror and fanaticism of the Holocaust; geopolitical games; the repetition of World War I on an even more dire scale.
The war was a gigantic melting pot of violence, power, and ideology that will leave an indelible scar on human history.
This Diary of the Second World War has been able to cover all facets of the conflict and is a fundamentally empirical work, which narrates events as they occurred, rejecting value judgments, and therein lies its it is an insurmountable encyclopedia on war.

The Second World War: April 1942 by José Delgado and Rosa Pérez offers a detailed, chronological account of the major events that occurred during this pivotal month of World War II. True to its title, the book presents a straightforward, fact-based timeline with minimal commentary—focusing solely on the unfolding of events.
This stripped-down approach allows significant operations, such as the Doolittle Raid and early movements related to Operation Torch, to be contextualized within the broader scope of the war. By presenting these events in sequence, the authors enable readers to better understand what various offensives were up against and to appreciate the consequences—both immediate and long-term—of success or failure during this period.
While the lack of interpretation or analysis may not appeal to all readers, the book’s strength lies in its clarity and structure, making it a valuable reference for those seeking a clear, chronological understanding of World War II’s complex developments in April 1942.
