“ Heinrich Himmler, the chief architect of Hitler’s gruesome, far-flung archipelago of concentration and death camps.” (pg.121)

“ On September 1,1939 Germany’s army, the Wehrmacht, and the air force, the Luftwaffe, smashed their way into Poland in a surprise lightning attack, or blitzkrieg, that quickly subdued the poles. Now at last, Britain and France declared war on Hitler.” (pg.5)

“ Bad weather- A typhoon nearing Japan on Aug.1 only delayed what was now inevitable. The skies cleared gradually, and by the afternoon of Sunday, Aug.5, the 9,700 lb. Little Boy uranium bomb was being winched into the special modified bomb bay of Tibbet’s B-29 on Tinian. The pilot had named the plane for his mother: Enola Gay.” (pg. 236)Go

“ In the Balkans, the Germans had lost Romania.” (pg.13)

“ So Doenitz commanded the troops facing the Russians to continue to fight, while ordering those on the western front to surrender immediately.” (pg. 123)

“ On March 22, Kuribayashi sent his last radio dispatch to Tokyo. “we are still fighting,” he cabled. “ The strength under my command is now about 400. The enemy suggested we surrender through a loud speaker, but our officers and men just laughed and paid no attention.” Later on that day, Kuribayashi committed seppuku.” (pg. 215)

“Situation report: September 1944”(pg.12-13)

Squeezed: “airplanes are crowded onto the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in a task force bound for the invasion Iwo Jima in 1944” (pg.163)

The Healing Touch: “ unarmed in battle, unwavering in the force of danger and all too often unsung among the public, Army and Navy medics won the admiration of the troops for their courage. In addition to treating battlefield wounds, medical teams stationed in the pacific had to treat a host of exotic tropical diseases they had never encountered in their American Practices, ailments that proved every bit as harmful as Japanese fire to soldiers raised far from the tropics.”

EvaluationThe book that I read is filled with examples

that prove it is an expository text. Almost every page is filled with pictures, diagrams, and illustrations. The book itself also contains nothing but factual and verifiable information about accounts of real events and operations that actual happened.
