"History has always fascinated me, especially where the Second World War is concerned. It is always amazing to be reminded of how much this time period paved the way for many of the things we see every day. I was especially fascinated at the medical aspect of it; Penicillin was such a powerful discovery. A fine job by the author in hitting the highlights!" - Randy S. (Miami, USA)
"The impact of WWII was obviously a worldwide one, but it was more than just the negative impacts of warfare. The discoveries and innovations that came forth because of the war were undoubtedly positive. Where would we be today without radar or helicopters? The medical accomplishments are also a highly beneficial advent that was derived from this time. Penicillin saved many lives, and discovering more sanitary practices in the operating room and in field hospitals forever changed how treatment worked. Thanks to the author, I can certainly appreciate how this war affected us in a new light." - Thom O. (Wales, UK)
