You’re young to be interested in World War II. What interests do you have of it? Are you interested in the Holocaust also?
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_20/103-9928895-8159859?ie=UTF8&rh=n%3A1000%2Cn%3A9%2Cn%3A4935%2Cn%3A4954 This is a spectacular link to each, and every, book you would want to know about World War II !

Two months later he was just ten miles from ground zero when an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki.

One More Sea Story from WWII $23.96 I started to write these stories after our first squadron reunion in Washington D.C. in 1983. I would tell these stories and everyone kept telling me I should put them in a book. At first I didnt think I could come up with enough material for a book, but as we started to have regular ships reunions I kept remembering more stories. As a matter of fact this book was never meant to be a narrative type book but rather a series of short stories. This book is not all about sea battles and shooting at each other or torpedo runs at the enemy, other authors have covered that pretty well. I guess I can say this book will also show that there is a little humor in time of war but it is also not a book of comedy. Author: Maurey, Jack R.

Handbook for Spies (WWII Classic) $28.54 British citizen Alexander Foote was recruited into a Soviet network of spies against Nazi Germany. Based in Switzerland, Foote was responsible for maintaining the network and forwarding information to the Centre in Russia. Foote describes how the network operated, including codes and secret transmissions, hiding from Swiss and German authorities, recruiting and funding, and eluding double agents. All the while, Foote watched Soviet Russia, presumably an ally to the free nations, become more and more like the Fascists Foote opposed. Eventually captured by Swiss police, Foote was debriefed in Russia, but managed to escape home to Britain after persuading the Soviets to send him on another mission. This is a fascinating story that illuminates a key part of the secret espionage networks undertaken during World War II.

ArmeeAbteilung Narwa: WWII on the Eastern Front $26.73 ArmeeAbteilung Narwa is a fictional story. The name identifies an actual department of German Army Group North that stubbornly held the Russian Army from breaking through at Narva, Estonia. German Army Group North requested approval to begin an organized retreat from Leningrad to Estonia in late 1943, but had been ordered by Hitler to hold. When the Russian Army broke through the Leningrad Blockade in late January 1944, the resulting colossal German Army retreat to the west was incredibly disorganized. The Red Army pressed all the way to the Narva River, where they were stopped by ArmeeAbteilung Narwa. For the next few months, stragglers from the numerous German Divisions bypassed by the Russians at the Leningrad Front kept fighting their way back to join the German defenders at the Panther Line on the Narva River. ArmeeAbteilung Narwa focuses on individuals from both sides of the various battles during the confused German retreat. Experience the vicious Total War that was fought on the Eastern Front during WWII, through the eyes of participants on both sides of the conflict.

The Boy Who Went to War: The Story of a Reluctant German Soldier in WWII $12.99 A powerful and true story of warfare and human survival that exposes a side of World War II that is unknown by many this is the story of Wolfram Aïchele, a boy whose childhood was stolen by a war in which he had no choice but to fight. Giles Milton has been a writer and historian for many years, writing about people and places that history has forgotten. But it took his young daughter’s depiction of a swastika on an imaginary family shield – the swastika representing Germany – for Giles to uncover the incredible, dark story of his own family and his father-in-law’s life under Hitler’s regime. As German citizens during World War II, Wolfram and his Bohemian, artist parents survived one of the most brutal eras of history. Wolfram, who was only nine years old when Hitler came to power, lived through the rise and fall of the Third Reich, from the earliest street marches to the final defeat of the Nazi regime. Conscripted into Hitler’s army, he witnessed the brutality of war – first on the Russian front and then on the Normandy beaches. Seen through German eyes and written with remarkable sensitivity, The Boy Who Went to War is a powerful story of warfare and human survival and a reminder to us all that civilians on both sides suffered the consequences of Hitler’s war . |

Brothers In Arms: The Epic Story Of The 761ST Tank Battalion Wwii’s Forgotten Heroes $9.89 A powerful wartime saga in the bestselling tradition of Flags of Our Fathers BROTHERS IN ARMS recounts the extraordinary story of the 761st "Black Panthers " the first all-black armored unit to see combat in World War II. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar first learned about the battalion from family friend Leonard "Smitty" Smith a veteran of the battalion. Working with acclaimed writer Anthony Walton Abdul-Jabbar interviewed the surviving members of the battalion and their descendants to weave together a page-turning narrative based on their memories and stories from basic training through the horrors on the battlefield to their postwar experiences in a racially divided America. Trained essentially as a public relations gesture to maintain the support of the black community for the war the battalion was never intended to see battle. In fact General Patton originally opposed their deployment claiming African Americans couldn’t think quickly enough to operate tanks in combat conditions. But the Allies were so desperate for trained tank personnel in the summer of 1944 following heavy casualties in the fields of France that the battalion was called up. While most combat troops fought on the front for a week or two before being rotated back the men of the 761st served for more than six months fighting heroically under Patton’s Third Army at the Battle of the Bulge and in the Allies’ final drive across France and Germany. Despite a casualty rate that approached 50 percent and an extreme shortage of personnel and equipment the 761st would ultimately help liberate some thirty towns and villages as well as the Gunskirchen Lager concentration camp. The racism that shadowed them during the war and the prejudice they faced upon their return home is an indelible part of their story. What shines through most of all however are the lasting bonds that united them as soldiers and brothers the bravery they exhibited on the battlefield and the quiet dignity and patriotism that defined their lives. |

Danger UXB: The Heroic Story of the WWII Bomb Disposal Teams $4.99 Autumn 1940: the Front Line is now Britain itself. With invasion imminent, cities are blitzed nightly as for the first time a nation becomes the target of a campaign of aerial assault. And even after the planes have passed overhead, a deadly menace remains: thousands upon thousands of unexploded bombs. Buried under ground, their clocks ticking remorselessly, UXBs blocked supply routes, closed Spitfire factories and made families into refugees. Dealing with this threat soon became Churchill’s priority. For the first time, Danger UXB reveals the story of this desperate struggle against the ticking clock. It was a battle of wits that pitted German ingenuity against British resourcefulness, told through four key figures in the new science of bomb disposal: Robert Davies GC, who saved St Paul’s Cathedral; Stuart Archer GC, protector of the vital Welsh oil refineries; the extraordinary Earl of Suffolk GC; and John Hudson GM, the horticulturalist who mastered the V1. An astonishing and compelling account of courage and self-sacrifice, this is the truth of how the Blitz was beaten. |

Then when we went to Norway to do a docu-drama people told us again and again that certain parts were pure fiction. Since I was a Norwegian that was not good enough; I had to find the truth. I sincerely believe we did" writes author Astrid Karlsen Scott and Defiant Courage is the true story of what Jan Baalsrud endured as he tried to escape from the Gestapo in Norway's Troms District.In late March 1943 in the midst of WWII four Norwegian saboteurs arrived in northern Norway on a fishing cutter and set anchor in Toftefjord to establish a base for their operations. However they were betrayed and a German boat attacked the cutter creating a battlefield and spiraling Jan Baalsrud into the adventure of his life. The only survivor and wounded Baalsrud begins a perilous journey to freedom swimming icy fjords climbing snow-covered peaks enduring snowstorms and getting caught in a monstrous avalanche. More than sixty people of the Troms District risk their lives to help Baalsrud who was suffering from snow-blindness and frostbite to freedom. Meticulously researched for more than five years Karlsen Scott and Haug bring forth the truth behind this captivating edge-of-your-seat real-life survival story. |

Faces Of War: The Untold Story Of Edward Steichen’s Wwii Photographers $29.29 A visually stunning collection that brings the soldiers’ experience to vivid photographic life- includes a DVD. The Aviation Photographic Unit was a military unit unlike any other in World War II.

Always Faithful: A Memoir Of The Marine Dogs Of Wwii $14.49 Twenty-three-year-old Bill Putney enlisted in the Marines in 1943 in search of military glory. Instead Putney a licensed veterinarian was relegated to the Dog Corps. Putney became the Commanding Officer of the 3rd War Dog Platoon and later the chief veterinarian and C.O. of the War Dog Training School at Camp Lejeune North Carolina. At Lejeune Putney helped train America’s dogs for war in the Pacific. He later led them into combat in the invasion of Guam in 1944 the first liberation of American soil in World War II. Always Faithful is the story of the dogs that fought in Guam and across the islands of the Pacific a celebration of the four-legged soldiers that Putney both commanded and followed. It is a tale of immense courage but also of incredible sacrifice. On Guam as on islands such as Iwo Jima and Okinawa the Japanese were infamously tenacious refusing to surrender as long as there was a hole left to crawl into. Rooting out the enemy was an awful painstaking job. To this task Putney’s dogs were well suited. Used for scouting attack carrying messages detecting mines and also as guards the war dogs were so well trained that they could locate nonmetallic mines that had been buried for months deep underground; their hearing was so precise they could detect enemy trip wires by listening to them "sing" in the breeze. Their record in action was perfect. More than 550 patrols on the island of Guam were led by dogs; not one patrol was ambushed. But for this success the dogs always out in front paid a terrible price. Although Putney worked feverishly as veterinarian and C.O. to keep the dogs alive many were lost. After the war Putney returned home only to discover that the dogs he had served with were being put to sleep. These dogs were ex-household pets recruited from civilians with the promise that they would someday be returned. Outraged Putney fought for the dogs’ right to go home. He won and headed the overwhelmingly successful program to "detrain" the dogs so they could return to their families. Alas quickly learned the lesson was quickly forgotten. The dogs of Korea and Vietnam did not come home. Then in the final days of his administration President Clinton signed into law a bill that allows military handlers to bring home the dogs with which they work. Once again Putney was at the front of the charge. For anyone who has ever read Old Yeller or the books of Jack London here is a real-life story never before told that beats any fiction. At once wistful tribute and stirring adventure Always Faithful describes what may be the greatest man-dog effort of all time. It will both astound and move you. |

Operation Fortitude: The True Story of the Key Spy Operation of WWII That Saved D-Day $19.99 Operation Fortitude was the ingenious web of deception spun by the Allies to mislead the Nazis as to how and where the D-Day landings were to be mounted. ‘One of the most creative intelligence operations of all time’ – Kim Philby The story of how this web was woven is one of intrigue, personal drama, ground-breaking techniques, internal resistance, and good fortune. It is a tale of double agents, black radio broadcasts, phantom armies, ‘Ultra’ decrypts, and dummy parachute drops. These diverse tactics were intended to come together to create a single narrative so compelling that it would convince Adolf Hitler of its authenticity. Operation Fortitude was intended to create the false impression that the Normandy landings were merely a feint to disguise a massive forthcoming invasion by this American force in the Pas de Calais. In other words, the success of D-Day – the beginning of the end of the Second World War – was made possible by the efforts of men and women who were not present on the Normandy beaches. Men such as Juan Pujol, a Spanish double-agent (code-name GARBO) who sent hundreds of wireless messages from London to Madrid in the build-up to D-Day relaying supposed intelligence from his fictitious spy network. This allowed the enemy to conclude that the number of Allied divisions preparing to invade was twice the actual number. Men such as R.V Jones, the head of British Scientific Intelligence, who masterminded the dropping of tinfoil confetti from the bomb-bay doors of Lancaster bombers, creating a false impression that a flotilla of Allied ships was heading in the opposite direction to the genuine invasion fleet. Using first hand sources from a wide range of archives, government documents, letters and memos Operation Fortitude builds a picture of what wartime Britain was like, as well as the immense pressure these men and women were working under and insure D-Day succeeded. |

The Battle Of The Bulge: The Untold Story Of Hofen $10.79 The Battle of the Bulge:The Untold Story of Hofen is a combat and tour of duty biography about First Lt. George W.Looney, a forward artillery observer in the 196th U.S. Field Artillery. George never told anyone his story after he came home from the war in 1945. In his personal notes and documents, his son Michael Looney has written a fascinating book of his father’s experiences. Most notably, George Looney changed the history of WWII. On Dec 17, 1944, George began calling the 196th’s artillery fire on the attacking Germans. Little did he know the attackers were Joachim Pieper’s SS Tank Battalion, "Blow Torch." Hitler ordered Pieper to take the crossroads and other roads in the area at allcosts. If he had successfully completed his mission, the Germans would have had a better chance to win the Battle of the Bulge. George Looney stopped them with almost four days of non stop atillery fire by himself. He was protected in his third story house window by a large American infantry battalion, which some of the men confirmed his story. George’s medal for bravery was claimed falsely by another officer. Mike and Donald Zingrabe, a former Korean war clerk in the 196th F.A. applied for and successfully received a bronze star posthumusly for George. A riveting story, greatly illustrated with George’s own peronal photos, notes, maps, and numerous unseen Battle of the Bulge photos. Two Appendix’s, first the 196th’s Unit history of it’s tour in Europe, secondly a photographic presentation of the artillery equipment the 196th used in combat.

A Life in Writing $20.62 Charles Champlin is best known as a columnist and film critic for the Los Angeles Times. His career as a journalist, however, has spanned decades, first as a writer for Life and later as a London-based correspondent for Time magazine. This book continues where his last memoir left off, with the author moving at the age of sixteen with his mother from Hammondsport, New York, to a village on Oneida Lake. Turning his journalistic eye on his own life, Champlin offers a series of vivid sketches that brings to life the events and people he encounters. His interviews with Peter O’Toole and other theatrical luminaries, his experience working in the Henry Luce, and his compassionate reporting are all vividly recounted, revealing the author’s personal impressions that richly detail an era. With wry insight and keen observation, Champlin narrates both the daily and the legendary events at Time, offering readers a glimpse into the world of magazine writing and publishing before the age of the computer. Balancing self-portrait with historical narrative, Champlin presents story of self-discovery in the larger context of a changing world. Relying on retrospection and personal and professional experience, he recalls crucial moments during WWII, the postwar years, and the sixties, reflections that will resonate with many readers. His prose–spare and unpretentious–is filled with humor and reveals a veteran writer who has lost none of the wit and wisdom from his earlier memoir. |

A Salute to Our Veterans: Vignettes of Those Who Made the Difference, 1939-2000 $13.68 A Salute To Our Veterans is a book about individual stories that veterans have told the writer during interviews, what they did as youngsters, about when they were old enough to go to war, where they signed up, went to basic training, what unit they served with, and where they fought during the wars. In the book are stories never told before by 29 veterans of World War II, 10 Korean War veterans, and six veterans from the Vietnam War and others. In the book are sailors, solders, marines and Air Force men. The stories mention the ships they were apart of and the ships that carried them to battles. The World War II veterans have told me stories of battles that they fought 60 years ago, and they are still fresh in their minds. It was amazing that when I put it down on paper, they wanted to check to see if I was as precise as they were. They never forget. Some people that read the stories will be able to relate to them, for they may have been at the same battle. Readers may find in my book someone they use to know, a lost comrade. The veterans remembered the units they fought with also. There is also a whole history of events that took you back to places during the wars. One of the veterans gives a full detailed story about his experiences in Vietnam, when he was fighting during Vietnam’s worst fighting, the Tet Offensive and Khe Shan Operations. It also features a US Marine stationed in China after the end of WWII. After reading this book, you will be more aware that there are veterans like the ones in the book in your neighborhood. You might even want to give them one of these books for a gift. |

Always Faithful: A Memoir of the Marine Dogs of WWII By William W. Putney $16.99 Twenty-three-year-old Bill Putney enlisted in the Marines in 1943 in search of military glory. Instead, Putney, a licensed veterinarian, was relegated to the Dog Corps.<P>Putney became the Commanding Officer of the 3rd War Dog Platoon, and later the chief veterinarian and C.O. of the War Dog Training School at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. At Lejeune Putney helped train America’s dogs for war in the Pacific. He later led them into combat in the invasion of Guam in 1944, the first liberation of American soil in World War II.<P><I>Always Faithful</I> is the story of the dogs that fought in Guam and across the islands of the Pacific, a celebration of the four-legged soldiers that Putney both commanded and followed. It is a tale of immense courage, but also of incredible sacrifice.<P>On Guam, as on islands such as Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Japanese were infamously tenacious, refusing to surrender as long as there was a hole left to crawl into. Rooting out the enemy was an awful, painstaking job. To this task, Putney’s dogs were well suited. Used for scouting, attack, carrying messages, detecting mines, and also as guards, the war dogs were so well trained that they could locate nonmetallic mines that had been buried for months deep underground; their hearing was so precise they could detect enemy trip wires by listening to them “sing” in the breeze.<P>Their record in action was perfect. More than 550 patrols on the island of Guam were led by dogs; not one patrol was ambushed. But for this success, the dogs, always out in front, paid a terrible price. Although Putney worked feverishly as veterinarian and C.O. to keep the dogs alive, many were lost.<P>After the war, Putney returned home only to discover that the dogs he had served with were being put to sleep. These dogs were ex-household pets, recruited from civilians with the promise that they would someday be returned. Outraged, Putney fought for the dogs’ right to go home. He won, and headed the overwhelmingly success |
