Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Second World War continued unabated in 1945 as it had for the previous six years. German chancellor Adolf Hitler took to the airwaves for the first time in over five months, proclaiming that the Fatherland would never give up, even as the Russians were closing in on his thousand-year Reich from the east and the Americans, British, French, and Canadians were marching steadily toward Berlin from the west.
#2 The Battle of the Bulge was the last major German offensive of World War II. The American fight had been waged in part by the 4th Cavalry Regiment, formerly a horse outfit but now mechanized.
#3 The American fighting men were the best in the world, and they proved it after Pearl Harbor. They were brave, resolute, and strong. The Japanese and Germans found this out after the attacks, and they were determined to fight back.
#4 America had changed drastically in the four years since the attack on Pearl Harbor. The American people were now completely behind getting involved in the war, as they had been forlornly asking of the First World War what they had gotten out of it: death, debt, and George M. Cohan.
