Величайший конфликт в истории человечества оживает благодаря впечатляющим свидетельствам солдат, выживших, учёных и мирных жителей, определивших ход его сражений и последствий. Эти захватывающие истории и подробные исторические описания охватывают весь мир с 1939 по 1945 год — от пляжей Нормандии до тихоокеанских театров военных действий, от концентрационных лагерей до секретных объектов Манхэттенского проекта.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!
