NOT AN ORDINARY BOOK!

This book is an auxillary-dictionary for World War II researchers. Although it is not sufficient alone, it supports researchers' fast-reading demands about the Second World War entries. Entries in the book were selected prior to less known facts. All facts have short and brief descriptions. Subjects are consist of biography (military, political, scientific, etc.), technology, abbreviations, operations, weapons, basic command structures, intelligence services and more... Authors had also added movies about the Second World War in which you can find according to the name of the movie as well as who played whom related to the biographic subject. On the other hand, there are few weapons that used in the war. There are not enough details of weapons either. Also addition of political biographies from the independent countries could be better.
