World at War, The by Richard Holmes
A television work on the Second World War, this work tells the story of the war through the testimony of key participants - from civilians to soldiers, from statesmen to generals. It includes interviews of: Albert Speer, Karl Wolff (Himmler's adjutant), Traudl Junge (Hitler's secretary) and James Stewart (USAAF bomber pilot and Hollywood star).
"The World at War was one of the greatest television series of all timeIt demonstrated the potential power of history on television and inspired a generation. It is tremendously exciting that the complete interviews with the participants from The World at War are now published here for the first time. Most of the people who were interviewed for the series are now dead, but their vital history - thanks to this book - still lives" Laurence Rees, author of AUSCHWITZ "A treasure trove of eye-witness accounts" BBC History Magazine
