Ok I've written those titles down. Another one I was told about was "Wine and War" or "war and Wine" (cant remember) that one is about the Nazi occupation of france.

Have you read the Shirer book? If not Jeff, you really should read it. I'm bogged down right around the invasion of Poland and have picked up McNamara's book on Viet Nam, for a change of pace!

I read Shirer's book back in the seventies, so it's been a while, but some of it still sticks with me in detail.

There is also some very good realistic fiction. If you want a very good, fair look at the war, try, Marge Piercy's novel, "Gone to Soldiers." It's one of the best novels I've ever read(Piercy's book, "The Longings of Women" is also very good, but nothing to do with WWII).
