Meriwether Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Something like A World Undone for WWI? Dd15 and Ds14 are reading A World Undone over the 5 weeks we are studying WWI. Dd15 just asked me if there was something similar for WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) NO personal experience with either, but I see that Inferno: The World at War (Hastings) is suggested as being similar to A World Undone -- or possibly A World At Arms (Weinberg), which is significantly longer, and from the reviews, a bit drier in writing style. Much more about the visuals than the writing, but possibly: DK/Smithsonia: World War II: The Definitive Visual History from Blitzkrieg to the Atom Bomb. Or, only from the U.S. perspective: The New York Times Complete World War 2: All The Coverage From the Battles to the Homefront reprints all of the newspaper's articles on the war. Albert Marrin's books are shorter, focused on specific topics, and at a YA level of reading, but are very engaging in writing style. He has a number of titles on different WW2 topics: - The Airman's War: World War II in the Sky - Overlord: D-Day and the Invasion of Europe - Victory in the Pacific - The Secret Armies: Spies, Counterspies and Saboteurs of World War II - Hitler - Stalin - Uprooted: The Japanese-American Experience During World War II Edited October 29, 2018 by Lori D. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
