Dedicated to all the brave men and women who fought and died during World War II, this novel is a wonderful recreation of that critical time in the struggle against Fascism. The reader feels he is there back in 1944. Mark David Johnson, in his late teen, keeps a diary of his observations and feelings of that year--from battles in the Pacific, to D-day, and the Battle of the Bulge in Europe. He and his family experience an awakening about their heritage and their ability to face danger with courage. The lessons they learn fit as much to our critical times as they did in 1944.

In the middle of the most destructive conflict in human history, the Second World War, almost 40,000 Germans civilians and prisoners of war were detained in internment and work camps across Canada. Prisoners of the Home Front details the organization and day-to-day affairs of these internment camps and reveals the experience of their inmates. Auger concludes that Canada abided by the Geneva Convention; its treatment of German prisoners was humane. This book sheds light on life behind barbed wire, filling an important void in our knowledge of the Canadian home front during the Second World War.

Richard Brown kept a personal diary throughout the whole of the Second World War. He used it to record the course of the conflict as he perceived it, gleaned from the newspapers, the wireless and hearsay. As well as describing the development of the war, Brown captured a vivid image of life in wartime Britain, with rationing, blackout restrictions, interrupted sleep, the prospect of evacuation and the enormous burden placed on civilians coping with a full-time job as well as war work. Richard Brown was a well-informed man who made his own judgements. His attitude to the war is fascinating, as he never doubts ultimate victory, despite being impatient and critical of the conduct of the war. His observations range from the pithy to the humorous and scathing. Above all, his diaries reflect the moral and social attitudes of the period, and the desire to be fully involved in the war effort. They also totally refute the argument that the British public were kept in the dark.

Dutch WWII diary translated in to English. 24 year old Cornelis de Wit's daily observations during forced labor in Mulheim an der Ruhr, Germany, during the last months of the war. This diary was written between November 11, 1944 and May 30, 1945. It begins when the German army took Cor, along with 50,00 men in the Rotterdam raid and then ends with his return home to Rotterdam. This diary is a unique perspective of Cor's interactions with his German captors, German civilians, and his Italian, Russian, French and Belgian coworkers at the railroad. Constant bombardments from the nearby Front, constantly seeking shelter in bunkers, it's a daily description of the fear that the civilian population endured during the last months of the war in Germany, culminating with the Front moving directly to their doorstep, and then their liberation by Allied Forces. Cor then describes his detainment in a local school that had been converted in to a Displaced Person's camp for weeks and the ensuing boredom, and the interactions with many nationalities that were in the same predicament of being stuck in Germany, unable to return to their home countries. Cor became a translator at an American hospital and vividly describes his interaction with American hospital staff and soldiers. A unique WWII diary, and worth a read.

At the outset of World War II, North Carolina was one of the poorest states in the Union. More than half of the land was rural. Over one-third of the farms had no electricity; only one in eight had a telephone. Illiteracy and a lack of education resulted in the highest rate of draft rejections of any state. The citizens desperately wanted higher living standards, and the war would soon awaken the Rip Van Winkle state to its fullest potential. Home Front traces the evolution of the people, customs, traditions, and attitudes, arguing that World War II was the most significant event in the history of modern North Carolina. Using oral history interviews, newspaper accounts, and other primary sources, historian Julian Pleasants explores the triumphs, hardships, and emotions of North Carolinians during this critical period. The Training and Selective Service Act of 1940 created over fifty new military bases in the state to train two million troops. Citizens witnessed German submarines sinking merchant vessels off the coast, struggled to understand and cope with rationing regulations, and used 10,000 German POWs as farm and factory laborers. The massive influx of newcomers reinvigorated markets--the timber, mineral, textile, tobacco, and shipbuilding industries boomed, and farmers and other manufacturing firms achieved economic success. Although racial and gender discrimination remained, World War II provided social and economic opportunities for black North Carolinians and for women to fill jobs once limited to men, helping to pave the way for the civil and women's rights movements that followed. The conclusion of World War II found North Carolina drastically different. Families had lost sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, and brothers and sisters. Despite all the sacrifices and dislocations, the once provincial state looked forward to a modern, diversified, and highly industrialized future.

Frank's diary begins on June 6, 1944 when he first learns of the invasion of Europe, D-Day, while stationed in England. He arrives in France on D-day +4. The diary ends with an entry on September 14, 1945, the day he arrives home in Massachusetts. As a chief warrant officer, we follow Lovell as he bears witness to some of the most monumental events of the 20th century. Well aware he was living during a period of major historical importance, Lovell believed it was his duty to record these events. The results are the reader is offered a unique perspective into an individual solder's view of his wartime experiences. Included in the diary are Frank Lovell's eyewitness accounts of the 9th Infantry Division cutting off of the Cotentin Peninsula, the Battle of the Hedgerows, Operation Cobra, the Battle for St Lo, the closing of the Falaise Gap, the liberation of Belgium, the Battle of the Hurtgen Forrest, the Battle of the Bulge, the Roer to Rhine River Drive, the Liberation of Nordhausen Concentration Camp, and the post-war Allied Occupation of Europe. Also included are many WWII photos from Lovell's private collection. Work is currently ongoing for future publication of Frank Lovell diary entries from the North Africa and Sicily campaigns of 1942 and 1943.

"Doxie" was Ophelia Dunaway's nickname, explained in the entry for 4/21/42. The diary measured 4.5" by 5.75". Each page had an entry for five (5) years, 1941-1945. Two (2) pages for December show the reader tiny writing, ink blots from a fountain pen, words running into the margin and other things which prevented clarity. There are some blanks and errors may have occurred. Imagine a teenager finding her Mother's diary and reading it unknown to her Mother! Mother was not pleased when she learned this and told me the diary wasn't important. From my first introduction to the diary to the present, my perspective has changed drastically.
