Richard Snow lists five books that he regards as essential reading on World War II.
I'd quickly add:
Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer.
Is Paris Burning? by Collins and LaPierre
The Last Days of Hitler by Hugh Trevor-Roper
The Dark Summer by Gene Smith
Churchill by Lord Moran
Armageddon by Max Hastings

Wally,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendations.
I've read the Keegan book and have Manchester's book on my "read stack." Will check out the others.
