|  | When Titans Clashed by David M. Glantz, Jonathan M. House
By the time Pearl Harbor had ripped apart America's peacetime pretensions, the German blitzkrieg had already blasted the Red Army back to the gates of Moscow. Yet, less than four years later, the Soviet hammer and sickle flew above the ruins of Berlin, stark symbol of a miraculous comeback that destroyed the German army and shattered Hitler's imperial designs. Told in swift stirring prose, When Titans Clashed provides the first full account of this epic struggle from the Soviet perspective. David Glantz, one of the world's foremost authorities on the Soviet military, and Jonathan House present a fundamentally new interpretation of what the Russians called the Great Patriotic War . Based on unprecedented access to formerly classified Soviet sources, they counter the German perspective that has dominated previous accounts and radically revise our understanding of the Soviet experience during World War II.

 | Double Victory by Edward Lewis, Ronald Takaki, Terry Adams
This multicultural perspective on World War II tells how American soldiers and citizens played a significant role in the war effort but also how they were affected both by the fervor of ideology and by the reality of their everyday lives--and sometimes by the contrast between the two. Professor Takaki also examines decision-making at the top, in which multicultural issues can be perceived. AUTHOR: Edward Lewis, Ronald Takaki, Terry Adams
