Many books about World War 2 have been authored over the decades since it ended. The topics of the books vary greatly. They chronicle the various battles that were fought, strategies that were used and actual stories of people who lived through it.
Readers always have various preferences as to the the type of military book they choose to read. Because of this fact, it can be a difficult task in choosing just one book. I have created a small selection of my favorites.
The book, Flags of Our Fathers, was authored by James Bradley with Ron Powers and is a dazzling work that covers the tactics and strategies that preclude the battle on the island of Iwo Jima. It gives tribute to the six brave men who raised the flag atop Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima. The book depicts the horrors, moments of courage and honors those who gave their life and never came back.
Another favorite books is Unbroken, A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption. Laura Hillenbrand is the talented author of this book and puts her writing skills together to create a book that keeps the reader sitting on edge. The theme is the true account of what happened to Louis Zamperini a man who went from being a juvenile delinquent through the Olympics and then to becoming a war hero. During the war his plane crashed while on a standard mission and the events that unfolded afterwards were incredibly told in this story.
Gerhard Weinberg wrote A World At Arms. It a historical account of events that occurred in all theaters of war, along with weapons that were used and actions that developed on the home front. It provides the point of view form a global standpoint and delves into the subject of the impact that the Great War had on society. It covers such topics as the atomic bombings, the Holocaust and battles that occurred at sea and in the air.
A Bridge Too Far is authored by Cornelius Ryan and is centered upon the Battle of Arnhem, which is notably one of the greatest Allied defeats during the war. It was an ambitious plan to end the war on the European front but ended up with more casualties than occurred during the entire landing at Normandy beach.
The book D Day, June 6, 1944 was written by Stephen E Ambrose to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the Normandy invasion. It combines research from the accounts of over 1,400 interviews with war veterans, as well as remarkable data extracted from various military archives. Ambrose provides the reader with an all inclusive invasion history invasion that captures the spirit of common soldiers who were required to go above and beyond the call of duty. The eye witness accounts bring the reader right into the core of the battle allowing them to be enveloped by the feelings of the historical invasion and how the soldiers may have felt.
The books about World War 2 have such a wide range of subject matter that it is hard to choose favorites. Readers that enjoy the subject of military history will be sure to find their own choices among the many that have been written. Each one is written on various war topics.
