I can only give a general outline. One book by the author stated that Germany was winning WW1 and would of won if America hadn’t joined. The second book concerned WW2.
That’s awful scanty to go on.
Even for the SDMB. :dubious:
John Keegan.
No, but thanks for the name; I enjoyed his The First World War.
It wasn’t David Fromkin’s Europe’s last summer : who started the Great War in 1914? although that book was even better.
Found the author, John Mosier, by finding The blitzkrieg myth : how Hitler and the Allies misread the strategic realities of World War II, a most interesting read which belies most of what I learned about how WWII was won.
The book I was looking for and lookinig forward to reading is:
The Myth of the Great War: A New Military History of World War I
…
Anne Frank
I did. I wrote both of them. The first one is called *GERMAN WAS WINNING AND WOULD OF ONE IF IT HADN’T BEEN FOR YOU MEDDLING AMERICANS: A WORLD WAR I COOKBOOK * and the second one was HITLER WASN’T SO BAD: A COLORING AND ACTIVITY BOOK FOR REVISIONIST BOYS & GIRLS, but what I’m trying to figure out is how you knew about them since they never got published. GET OUT OF MY HEAD AND OR CLOSETS WILL REPAIR! (Will Repair- is that a Jewish name?)

I’ll have you know I’m a graduate of the Robert Tilton School of Hands On Repair.
Oh, that’s easy! There’ve been so few books written about that rather obscure conflict, after all. I’m sure the book you have in mind was… it was… um, could you maybe give us a teeny little bit more detail? :dubious:
John Hersey? Tom Brokaw? Elie Wiesel?
How many books about World War II could there possibly be?
Wait! I’m a librarian…
The keywords “World War II” return 39,372 results in OCLC’s WorldCat. :eek:
And the Library of Congress Subject Heading “World War, 1939-1945” yields a mere 290,628 records (174,420 of them for works in English) in WorldCat.
The most popular author seems to be Stephen E. Ambrose, who’s written 111 books (or editions of books) on the subject.
What color was it?
Was it for it, or against it?
Did it mention Hitler? 'Cause that would really narrow the field.
<snerk> Every day, man. Every day.
Alas, in this particular library there are only 157 books with the most generic subject heading of “World War, 1939-1945”. Perhaps it was a red book? A large book? A book with a picture of a man with a moustache on it? Perhaps you left your grocery receipt in it? Your bacon?
For the hard of reading: It’s listed in Post #4.
For the hard of reading, the LC subject heading “World War, 1939-1945” is, unsurprisingly, books about the second one. Meaning your second book in the OP.
Unless you meant the The Blitzkreig Myth book? In that case, carry on.
Wait a minute. According to Churchill, the first world war was between 1756-63, and the second was the 1797-1815 series of wars centering on post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, with national details (War of 1812, grito de Morales, Russo-Swedish conflict, etc.) tacked on. Only when capitalized do First and Second World War refer to the Germanocentric events of the first half of the 20th century. :)_
