The Second World War : A Complete History

Rating:
Summary: Madness! Man's inhumanity to man
Review: We are going to Poland. I wanted to research the effect of World War II on the cities and countryside, in order to have a better appreciation as we traveled around. I found what I wanted. Not in as much detail as desired, but enough. What I also found, unexpectedly, was a very well documented and written book, especially concerning the holocaust and all the brutality of the Nazis. I have always been distressed by what happened, but I never imagined it was as bad as it was, even though I knew it was horrible. The Jews were the principle sufferers, but not the only ones. Man's inhumanity to man! How, Why? Discouraging to contemplate the human condition!
