WORLD WAR II: A Selected List of References
Compiled by Jon Simon, Congressional Research Service and
Albert E. Smith, Jr., Humanities and Social Sciences Division
June 1992
INTRODUCTION
At 4:45 AM, September 1, 1939, the German military machine
known as Blitzkrieg (lightning war) ripped through the border of
Poland, its 2,000 planes and 2,800 tanks overwhelming the ill-
prepared Polish defenders. Two days later Britain and France
declared war against Germany. The Second World War had begun.
It officially ended on September 2, 1945, when Mamoru
Shigemitsu, foreign minister of Japan, signed the formal
instrument of surrender on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri in
Tokyo Bay. In those six years between the invasion of Poland and
the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world was caught in
the most destructive war in history. Armed forces of more than
seventeen million fought on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
Thousands of soldiers perished under fire. The civilian toll--
from concentration camps, bombings, disease, and starvation--
reached uncountable millions.
From the beginning, the catastrophic events of the war
generated an enormous body of literature. Fifteen hundred entries
under the subject heading, "World War, 1939-" are listed in the
Cumulative Book Index covering 1938-1942. The first cumulative
volume of the Bibliographic Index, covering the same period,
cites more than three hundred bibliographies about the war. Fifty
years later the Library of Congress Computer Catalog includes
fifty thousand titles on the subject.
This guide was prepared to make the huge volume of material
less daunting to the general reader or the beginning researcher.
We have identified the most useful reference tools--
bibliographies, dictionaries, chronologies, histories, and
documentary sources--in the Library of Congress that pertain to
the war and United States involvement. However, this bibliography
is not intended to be comprehensive. Although it was prepared
using the Library's collections, we have selected titles with an
eye toward availability. Almost all the reference sources are in
English and have been published or reprinted within the last ten
years. (Significant titles published earlier or in other
languages are cited in several of the listed bibliographies.) In
addition to the traditional reference sources, we have included a
section of general histories which offer a good introduction to
the political, diplomatic, or social aspects of the war. Also, we
have incorporated bibliographic essays and bibliographies from
the backs of books if a specific topic was otherwise poorly
covered.
The guide is divided into eight sections, within which
entries are listed alphabetically. Descriptive annotations were
provided unless a title was self-explanatory. For the convenience
of readers using the Library of Congress, location information is
provided for books that are part of the reference collections of
the Main Reading Room (MRR), Newspaper and Current Periodical
Reading Room (N&CPR), Microform Reading Room (MicRR), Motion
Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division (M/B/RS),
Geography and Map Division (G&M), and Local History and Genealogy
Reading Room (LH&G). Most titles cited are also available at
large public and research libraries. A reference librarian can
provide assistance in finding these items.
