Summary

“Each war entails the destruction of the human soul.” (Henry Miller).

Humanity should not lose its memory, even if some may try to conceal it.

From the hindsight afforded by the passing of 75 years from the events narrated, with freedom of thought and a totally independent standpoint, Pacific Media have undertaken an arduous research which has resulted in the series: The Finest Hours of WWII. From the atrocious moment in which Hitler ordered the invasion of Polish territory to the day in which Emperor Hirohito “had to accept the unacceptable”, all is encompassed in this audiobook over its 21 programs.

Rubbish avoid

Finest hours of Ww2, is not new or personal views of the conflict , it’s basically a very simple history of the conflict, not inaccurate but not engaging very good if you are a 10 year needing some homework done.

Lightweight

Any attempt to cover the whole of WW2 will always be subjective. This is not a Max Hastings or Laurence Rees and some of the pronunciations of places by the narrator are questionable . Overall the book provides an account of the key events albeit in a rather lightweight manner
