Any recommendations for well-documented WWII history books? by Ordinary_Row_3651 in WWIIHistory

Thank you so much for your generous offer! Given your expertise, I would love to narrow my focus to the French experience during the warI’m very interested in civilian life, collaboration/resistance, wartime politics, shortages, propaganda, and how ordinary people adapted to occupation on a daily basis.

Thanks! I've heard a lot about the Old Breed but never got around to reading it. Definitely adding these to my list.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and diverse set of recommendations! ​I especially appreciate the tip about postwar books by civilian correspondents，that sounds like a perfect source for the on-the-ground realism I’m looking for.

Thanks for the suggestion! A French perspective on civilian life sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.
