From School Library Journal: " While most other reference books on this subject attribute the rise of Nazism to the terms of the Versailles Treaty and worldwide economic depression, this set digs deeper. Volume one begins with a discussion of events before and after World War I. It considers the growing nationalism of the European countries, the conflict within Germany that led to Hitler's ascension, and the conditions that led to Fascism in Italy, Japan's militarism, and U. S. Isolationism. Volume two provides details about the Allied invasion of France; life on the home front; spies, secrets, and codes; major turning points in the war; fighting in France, Africa, and the Pacific; the defeat of Nazi Germany; and the use of atomic weapons. It also covers the ghettos, camps, resistance and rescue, displaced persons, the Nuremberg Trials, and recovery and war memorials. Each chapter ends with the text of one or more primary sources. Volume three offers more than 100 individual and group biographies. Illustrations consist of 800 black-and-white maps, charts, tables, and photographs..." -- with a bonus offer-- .
