1940 - The World in Flames

by Richard Collier

Hardback with dust jacket in very good condition. Published 1979. 

This book recounts the events of 1940 in WWII, recounting not just major events but also spotlighting the little-known characters caught up in them. 

"The future world will be a shabby and dangerous place to live in...if it is ruled by force in the hands of the few..." President Roosevelt wrote in a message to deliver to Congress in the first days of 1940. 

Interesting stuff.
