Populist Hearsay of 1939-45
The Myths, Blunders, Accidents and Prima Donnas
Histories of WWII are often biased to justify a home nation. Britain claimed it “won the war” single-handedly; other countries have their own self-centered versions. This book confronts these nationalistic views and challenges accepted versions of traditional national histories.
