Great short stories

This wonderful book contains some one hundred (if I counted correctly) little stories of daring-do from the Second World War. Each story is between one and three pages in length, and is told in a fascinating style and tone. These are the stories of men and women, Germans, Italians, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Americans (of Italian, German, Japanese, etc. descent), soldiers and civilians. Just about every phase of the war is covered, and most theatres of action, as well.These stories are quite fascinating, and the shortness of each story makes this book easy to pick up and put down (important if you have to snatch your reading time where you can get it). My one complaint is that there are no tales of daring missions involving Imperial Japanese or Soviet forces. That said, though, I did enjoy this book, and recommend it to you.
