This text provides an interesting overall account of oddities that happened during one of the greatest conflicts of all time. There are some factual data within the book that well-versed readers have identified that could possibly be considered in a later edition. For these individuals, there are countless multi-volume and 500+ page accounts of the history of World War II. However, to a novice, this work provides short, readable sections about interesting and less known aspects of the Second World War. This book makes one reflect on the strange little things that can alter the course of human history. If nothing else, it raises your curiosity to read more works on the topic or the issue or story that you are most interested in. After all, isn't that what reading and exploring information is all about?
