World War II: The Rest of the Story & How It Affects You Today, rev. ed.

Mr. Maybury presents an idea-based explanation of the Second World War. He focuses on events in the Second World War and how our misunderstanding of this war led to America's subsequent wars, including the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the Iraq-Kuwait War, and the "war on terrorism" that began September 11, 2001.

Using the epistolary style of writing (using letters to tell a story), Mr. Maybury plays the part of an economist (Uncle Eric) writing a series of letters to his niece or nephew (Chris). Using stories and examples, Mr. Maybury gives interesting and clear explanations of topics that are generally thought to be too difficult for anyone but experts.

Mr. Maybury warns, "beware of anyone who tells you a topic is above you or better left to experts. Many people are twice as smart as they think they are, but they've been intimidated into believing some topics are above them. You can understand almost anything if it is explained well."

To improve the student's learning experience, also purchase the student study guide for World War II titled A Bluestocking Guide: World War II.

Can be used for courses in World History, U.S. History, International Relations, Economics, Business, Finance, and Government. This is part two of a two-part series on the world wars. For part one, check out World War I: The Rest of the Story and How It Affects You Today.
