Did you know that Cuba sank a German submarine? That a pioneer company from Swaziland was at Anzio and won a U.S. unit citation? That Monaco was liberated by two American G.I.'s by mistake? These and other fascinating accounts are contained in this survey of over 170 countries affected to a greater or lesser degree by the war.
