How will the Second World War be remembered? Not as a series of strategic battles but as a dramatic turning point in world history, recorded through the personal accounts, diaries, and speeches of those that were there. World War Two: the Autobiography places centre stage the individual accounts of over 200 people who saw events unfolding before their eyes: from the first stirrings of Nazi aggression, to the phoney war and the Blitzkrieg; from the frozen wastes of the Eastern Front to life under the threat of the Blitz in London. This autobiography offers a panoramic view of the conflict and with entries from all the major figures of the war, including Churchill, Field Marshal Montgomery, Hitler, Stalin and Rommel, as well as accounts from the men and women on the front line, the home front and those unfortunate to be prisoners of war, from all sides of the conflict.

Yes, I am aware that WWII is not a person and thus cannot have written its own biography :D
This is a collection of over 200 texts written during the war by people who experienced it firsthand. There is everything, from official public addresses by politicians to soldiers diary entries, from newspaper articles written by war correspondents to letters sent home by prisoners of war. We see both sides, Allies and Axis, and all theatres, Africa, Europe, Russia, Pacific...
This was not what Id call a fun read, but I learned so much I didnt know about the war! If youre me and you read a lot of historical fiction set in those years, youll feel you know all about the Holocaust, the Blitz, Dunkirk and Normandy. But I realized I basically knew nothing about the war in Northern Africa, for example, or the U-boats. It was fascinating to read about all of that from so many diverse points of view, and not romanticized as it would have been in a novel.wwii S.S.Author 15 books8
This is quite an interesting book featuring 200 different accounts of WWII. These accounts cover speeches, letters, diary entries, etc from soldiers, civilians, POWs, and even people Churchill, HItler and Rommel. This is definitely something that I'll dip in to in the future again. Chris27
