1939: A People's History of the Coming of the Second World WarIn the autumn of 1938, Europe believed in the promise of peace. But only a year later, the fateful decisions of just a few men had again led Europe to a massive world war. Drawing on contemporary diaries, memoirs, and newspapers, as well as recorded interviews, 1939 is a narrative account of what the coming of the Second World War felt like to those who lived through it. Frederick Taylor, author of renowned histories of the Berlin Wall and the bombing

In the autumn of 1938, Europe believed in the promise of peace. But only a year later, the fateful decisions of just a few men had again led Europe to a massive world war. Drawing on contemporary diaries, memoirs, and newspapers, as well as recorded interviews, 1939 is a narrative account of what the coming of the Second World War felt like to those who lived through it.

Frederick Taylor, author of renowned histories of the Berlin Wall and the bombing of Dresden, highlights the day-to-day experiences of ordinary citizens as well as those who were at the height of power in Germany and Britain. Their voices lend an intimate flavor to this often-surprising account of the period and reveal a marked disconnect between government and people, for few people in either country wanted war.

1939 is a vivid and richly peopled narrative of Europe's slide into the horrors of war and a powerful warning for our own time.

Perfect one!
Color: 1a. Clear, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
Awesome shower liner for a great price! This one is sturdy, washable, hangs nice, and easy to use. I like mine to be clear, so this one was perfect for me. It lets a lot of the bathroom light in. The clear color works for me. It has magnets at the bottom and does not blow in so much while you are showering. You can replace whenever you want or even wash it. The price is great, so it is up to you. Good purchase!

Worth it! Get it
Color: 1a. Clear, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this shower curtain liner, especially for the price. We have bad water; turns other liners a pinky orange color. This has not turned colors, thick material. And I love how it has magnets to keep it attached to the tub to avoid water getting out onto the floor
