I am an avid reader, and I also have a need to learn everything there is to know about WWII, the good, the bad, and the downright evil. I want to know it all, I want to be able to understand, and keep this knowledge for future generations, for I plan on passing it down to other people along my lifetime, but I want the books to be detailed… Amazon doesn’t seem to have many detailed books over it other than “Hitler is bad, here is what happened in the holocaust, and here is what great things the allies did”… you know, the same thing everything shows you, but I want more perspective, more information than that… does anybody have suggestions of books or sites for those books?
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably, OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted a non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
