Description

The first volume of a day-by-day history of World War II, based on my now-defunct award-winning web page, “World War II Plus 55,” this series will have all-new material, offering readers a day-by-day history of humanity’s greatest conflict, as seen from the top and bottom, following people, nations, commands, and campaigns across the globe.

This volume describes the causes of and the actions that preceded the war, from the birth of Adolf Hitler in 1889 to the moments before the German attack on Poland on September 1st, 1939.
