Fact #1. World War Two is too vast and rich a subject for any one book to comprehensively cover all aspects of the conflict. When searching for a book on the topic, you'll need to define your area of interest. Your focus may lie on the buildup and early days of the war, or the Pacific theater. Either way, there are plenty of tomes out there that can whet your appetite for knowledge.
Fact #2. Perhaps the most important thing to look for in a book is a fair and balanced perspective. It's easy in retrospect to see this as a good versus evil conflict. However, to do so would be to ignore the sins committed by every side. It would give you only a glimpse of the truth of the war.
Fact #3. Consider the viewpoint you want to get from the book. There are a great many titles that take a broad overview of the subject. There's also an equal number that give you first-person viewpoints from the soldiers who lived it. Your World War Two education will be incomplete if you don't read both.
Fact #4. The impact of World War Two continues to be felt long after the last peace treaty was signed. The war set the stage for the United States to rise to global prominence. The country's infrastructure was largely unaffected by battle. This allowed it to quickly become the dominant economy on the planet. The resulting boom powered decades of stratospheric growth.
Fact #5. Virtually every aspect of our day-to-day lives has felt some impact from this historic conflict. Ignorance of its effects can lead to ignorance of modern affairs. The sacrifices made by the men and women in this war still reverberate in our time, and deserve to be honored. The least you can do is read about them.
