 The World at War: The Landmark Oral History from the Previously Unpublished Archives - Richard Holmes
 The World at War: The Landmark Oral History from the Previously Unpublished Archives - Richard Holmes ... a phenomenal oral history of the Second World WarNewest Review: ... the war (and earlier), starting with life in Hitler's Germany and ending with the start of the Cold War. Some of it is ... more ... interesting, some disturbing, and some quite funny. The interviews haven't been edited particularly, so they mirror speech patterns more than regular prose does. Some of the German or Japanese interviewees have quite garbled syntax, as their spoken English isn't perfect (much better than my German or Japanese, mind you).

A lot of information in a little book . Seperated in easy accessible sections Gives only an introduction and only the basics to a lot of interesting themes and topics .
Solace - Nicci Gerrard

Informative, entertaining, and not difficult to read More recent studies can be more accurate
Skulduggery Pleasant - Derek Landy
A fun, fast paced story with sparkling dialogue and characters. Suffers occasionally from flat prose, unrealistic characterisation and a linear plotline.
