It's World War II as you've never seen it before - discover the hidden stories of incredible human spirit during the world's darkest hour.
Everyone knows what Adolf Hitler, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill were doing during World War II, but what about ordinary people? This beautifully illustrated book reveals some of the most incredible true tales from the war, including the bear who was recruited by the Polish army, the Navajo soldiers who developed a secret code, and the African-American jazz singer who worked as a spy. Throughout the stories are pages explaining the key events of the war - from Pearl Harbor and Dunkirk to D-Day and the Holocaust.
