ISBN10: 0313300186, ISBN13: 9780313300189, [publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, Westport] Hardcover Hardcover. A reference with more than a thousand quotations, this work breathes life into an era unprecedented in world history. This encyclopedia of quotation looks at World War II in a whole new way. It is all quotations: from speeches, news accounts, memoirs and interviews. It is captured documents and material from Ultra and Magic - which broke the German and Japanese secret codes. It is the major political and military figures of the war - and a lot of hitherto unknowns. It is also a lexicon of slang and nicknames and code names; it is war movies and war songs. More than 300 individuals are represented: from Allied sources and Axis sources to neutrals. Also featured are a lexicon of slang terms, nicknames, and code words and sections on the movies and songs of the era.Quotations come from traditional sources, enemy documents seized after the war, and hitherto secret archives. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
