Review: An excellent historical source - This is an impressive collection of news articles dealing with some of the post First World War issues that would eventually lead into the Second World War, as well as a little of what the consequences were that led into the Cold War. Information contained in this volume is abundant and full of pictures and even maps of where the conflicts and battles took place. I'm just a bit surprised, however, that not as much was covered about the Pacific theatre on the eve of war in that part of the world. For example, despite news article coverage beginning with 1919, it held no mention of the atrocities that happened in Nanking between 1937-1938. The news of rising tension around the world was not fully depicted until 1938 going into 1939. I'm not too sure if it's because being that New York Times was a US news channel, they didn't receive the kind of intel that Britain would have gotten given the investment they had in many parts of China at the time. I was of course, not surprised that it was never mentioned in later articles given the gravity of the war itself, and later during the Cold War, when the US was busy fighting an indirect battle with Communist China and being friends with Japan. Mentioning such an event would be contradictive of the US' goal to keep friendly relations with Japan and and would instead increase sympathy for their opponent. I am glad however, that there is much more information about the happenings of the war that took place in the African Continent as well as the Pacific prior to the US focusing their last offensive against Japan in the aftermath of Germany's surrender. In many books I've come across about the Second World War, barely anything was mentioned of the battles that took place in Africa as well as China against Japan. Aside from my personal inquiry about the gap in information in that specific time period, this volume is otherwise, a rich mine of information to peruse. I'm often wondering why such a source is not being recommended for junior high and high school students in their world history classes. It would make their understanding of their world at that time much more well-rounded. I, myself, anticipate using this as a first-hand source when teaching my own students and children in the future.
Review: MAYBE THE BEST BOOK OF ITS KIND! - Excellent, comprehensive (large!) book. Full of important information. Photographs. Maps. Articles. Editorials. Headlines. Great format! It’s big and heavy, though, even the paperback, so not especially portable. Nice “coffee table” book but not something you’ll want to carry around or put in your backpack 😉.
