Wars throw up characters of unusual interest and though this dictionary is essentially a work of reference, it is rich in inherent human interest, and can be read as a form of narrative. All the people in the book were known to the public or sections of the public during WWII and contributed something to the conduct of the war or its atmosphere. A reference work of the utmost fascination. A clean very presentable copy in Brodart mylar.
