100 Must-Read World War II Books

"This is by no means a comprehensive list. The number of World War II books available is vast. People love to read about one of the worst events in history. In a way, this makes no sense—the list below makes for some depressing reading. But in another way, the list contains reading that is compelling and essential: we need to know our history now, if ever."
