not your father’s wwii books
books about the second world war that investigate race, class, and gender and/or the human cost of the war. these aren’t the pop history books you buy your dad for christmas, i promise.
primarily (but not exclusively) academic history books read during my history MA program! consequently some may be a bit dense and/or dry.

This list is so intimidating to me 🫣 I hope it finds the love it deserves and all the history buffs flock to it.
