Book Description
Born in 1889 to a family of farmers in a quaint little town of Braunau am Inn in Austria, this scion with a childhood like any other would one day rise like a phoenix from the ashes of World War I and single-handedly shape the course of history between 1939-45. His insatiable ambition and lust for power combined with a deep-rooted hatred for the Jews and a mindless obsession with eugenics threatened to rip the very fabric of this planet. Witness how the Allies put an end to Adolf Hitler’s juggernaut through a fascinating and insightful day by day narrative by the author, Jaideep Gupte. Enhanced by rich visuals, the book almost transports you to ground zero. All the theatres of the war (Western Front – Europe, Eastern Front – Soviet Union, Pacific – Japan with its islands and North Africa) have been dealt with by Jaideep with equal weightage. It also includes the turning points in the war, some stunning war inventions that created a buzz, Hitler’s greatest blunders, his search for pure Aryan blood, an account of his henchmen and their fate as Nazi war criminals, the ever spewing Nazi propaganda machine and even a peek into the psyche of Hitler himself. It lets one experience World War II in all its entirety with a helicopter view never seen before.

Book Description
In tribute to the gallant leaders of the Pacific war, the editors of this book have prepared a brief summary highlighting their military and naval careers. We were indeed fortunate to have at the helm men of such integrity and brilliance of purpose. They assumed the mighty tasks of battle with courage, foresight and confidence and have so directed our fighting men that their names shall be indelibly imprinted in the history of the United States as symbols of the democratic principle, "that government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the earth." For indeed these great leaders are first of all Americans ... Americans who faced the challenge of World War II and by their efforts surmounted it. We are proud to salute them! This publication is a photographic description of WWII, containing 400 photos from Dec 7, 1941 to V-J Day, Sept. 2, 1945.
