Therefore, for any day there will be some action or event to report. Although there is an entry for nearly every day, there are some days for which there is none. For example, there is no report for August 2, 1942. Not a criticism, just a note. Strictly speaking, the book begins in June 1919 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and the Treaty of St Germain that formally ended World War I. This is fitting, for it was not a peace, just an interlude. The major events that laid the foundation for the official start of the war on September 1, 1939 are briefly mentioned. The ebb and flow of Allied fortunes during the war are closely followed by reading these entries. Since all are short, there is very little that could be interpreted as political commentary, it is a book of concise facts. If you are interested in the day by day actions of World War II, this is a book that you can read for enlightenment. It is an excellent book to be placed on a coffee table, to be picked up and read a couple of pages at a time. Profusely illustrated with pictures from all sides in the conflict, it is concise yet complete. Of course there are omissions, with nearly every nation involved, it is impossible to include all significant events in a book this size.     I have many similar books available    I have many books on sale, please check my listings.
