Review of #Weird War Two

The name (Weird War Two) is certainly appropriate for this book.  Reading about the oddities that happened in World War II, is something that is likely to interest a WWII buff.  There are some many oddities that are being reported, it reads a bit like “fake news” as some of the happenings are so extreme.  Obviously the author has spent a lot of time researching and compiling the information.  As a reader who generally likes to know more, the lack of any reference material is off-putting.  It is understandable that this is not cited like a research paper but at the end of each short essay, it would have been very nice or even in an appendix.  The length of the “chapters” is all very short – generally a page or two.  If you are interested in reading about some of the oddities of the second world war, then this is the volume for you.  The writing is conversational in nature and flows easily making reading a breeze.  I would recommend the book for the war buff looking for some conversational anecdotes to share.
