My Thoughts
Awhile back I picked up this copy of An Incomplete History of World War II by Edwin Kiester Jr. Earlier, this week I started reading these 24 short stories. The narration reads like a reflection for those who took part in this war that was a global conflict.
I found much of this read to be extremely interesting. It does include many images I had not seen before.
The details in the section that speaks about radio detection methods and ranging (radar) I found intriguing.
This read provides some descriptions and details on the sneak attacks as well as rescues and surviving sieges. It also speaks to some of the hoaxes that came out during the war and additionally provides information on the death marches.
