About the Book

Fueled by recent films and TV series such as Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers and popular books by Stephen Ambrose and Tom Brokaw, interest in World War II has soared. As a result of this surge of attention, the number of websites on World War II has exploded. Many are excellent sources of information, but how can they be found among the massive number of sites? Search engines can't tell the good from the bad, making the process of uncovering quality World War II sites a frustrating and time-consuming process of sifting through hundreds of thousands of hits.

The authors-experts in web research-have examined and evaluated thousands of websites.

This book/CD-ROM is modeled on SR Books' bestselling Civil War on the Web, another indispensable guide to exceptional websites. World War II on the Web includes: ï Detailed reviews of the top 100+ sites ï A one- to five-star rating of each site's content, aesthetics, and navigation ï A list of approximately 150 additional recommended sites including URLs and brief descriptions ï Free CD-ROM (IBM and MAC compatible) with hotlinks to all sites in the book-the top 100+ sites as well as the 150 additional recommended sites. Users can simply click on the link to be taken to the site they've chosen. The first part of the book highlights the best 100+ sites and is divided into sections on the following topics: general sites on the war; political and military leaders; European/Atlantic/Mediterranean Theater of Operations; Pacific Theatre of Operations; the soldiers' stories; the homefront; women and African Americans; the Holocaust and war crimes; and unit histories.

Review :
For anyone wanting to undertake an exploration of World War II on the Web, this is an invaluable treasure map. A very handy volume. I wish this invaluable source existed when I wrote Flags of our Fathers. Now I keep this book on my desk at all times. Any[one] with a passionate interest in World War II should buy this terrific book at once. [This book] will keep you busy for years. Smith and Jenkins have produced reviews that stand alone as historical essays. You don't actually have to go online to enjoy this book, but it definitely will inspire you to browse.
