The Decline and Fall of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan: A Pictorial History of the Final Days of World War II   Hans Dollinger
Excellent pictorial history of the final 100 days of the war from German, Japanese, and allied sources. Impressive collection of photographs, detailed charts, complex maps, and primary documents. Very thorough, especially about the war in Europe. Extensive explanatory text, as well. If I have a complaint, it’s that the pictures and text, because there are so many of them, are small, and so, a little difficult to see. But that is not really a criticism. Much less coverage of the war in the Pacific, but what there is is thorough. This is an important historical reference gem.
