George Catlett Marshall Jr. (December 31, 1880-October 16, 1959) rose to become Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army during World War II under Presidents FDR and Truman, later serving as Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense under Truman. As Secretary of State, Marshall advocated for a U.S. economic and political commitment to post-war European recovery, including the Marshall Plan that bore his name. In recognition of this work, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953, the only Army general ever to receive the honor.

Per gli inglesi è il Blitz, o addirittura "la battaglia" per antonomasia: il lungo scontro che nell'estate del 1940 le forze aeree tedesche e inglesi ingaggiarono per il controllo dei cieli doveva essere nei piani di Hitler la premessa all'invasione della Gran Bretagna. Al termine di mesi di disastrosi bombardamenti sulle città inglesi e di violenti duelli tra Raf e Luftwaffe, la vittoria inglese significò non solo la rinuncia all'invasione e la prima sonora sconfitta della macchina bellica tedesca, ma una svolta capace di imprimere un corso sostanzialmente diverso alla Seconda guerra mondiale.

In 1938, British statesman The Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill, a former military officer and member of the House of Commons, penned his Arms and the Covenant, published in the United States as While England Slept; a Survey of World Affairs, 1932–1938. The book is a powerful collection of his speeches warning that England was not at all prepared for the inevitability of war with Germany. While England Slept is published here in its original classic form with the preface and notes by Churchill’s son, Randolph S. Churchill.

In 1938, British statesman and soon-to-be Prime Minister Winston Churchill published his book Arms and the Covenant. It was published three months later in the US under the title While England Slept. In 1940, future President John F. Kennedy, who was a senior at Harvard University, wrote his dissertation, criticizing Churchill’s harsh blame of England’s leaders, even drawing comparisons between England and the United States for its own similar lack of preparedness against the totalitarian Nazi regime. Responding to Churchill's title, Kennedy named his book, Why England Slept.

Alone, unprepared, and weak. These are generally the words used to describe Britain's position in 1940, part of a narrative that has been built up ever since the end of World War II. However, the reality is very different. On land, sea, and in the air, Britain was prepared. It had the most powerful navy in the world; the RAF was relatively strong, but more importantly, was operating as part of a plan and a joined-up group system that was in reality never in any real danger of being defeated; even the post-Dunkirk British Army was better armed than the post-war narrative tells us.

Viele Angehörige der älteren Generation erinnern sich noch daran, wie die Nazis ihre Kindheit mißbrauchten, ohna daß sie dies damals erfassen konnten. Wie aber erlitten die Söhne und Töchter jüdischer Eltern diese Zeit? Inge Deutschkron, in Berlin aufgewachsen, mußte erfahren, was es heißt, ein jüdisches Kind zu sein. Zunächst bedeutete dies nur, nicht mit Gleichaltrigen spielen zu können, vom Schwimmen- und Sportunterricht ausgeschlossen zu sein, mehrmals die Schule zu wechseln und in andere Stadtviertel umzuziehen zu müssen.

An unbelievable series of events led to the establishment of the Northwest Electro-development Laboratory, later the U.S. Bureau of Mines Albany Research Center. Though the fledgling lab had difficulty securing staff due to World War II, world-renown metallurgist William J. Kroll was hired early on as a consultant after fleeing Nazi occupation. Kroll, who had pioneered a method for producing commercial titanium, worked with his core group of associates to develop malleable zirconium, just as a need arose for the little-known metal.

Six attempts were made by German officers to kill Hitler in autumn 1943 and summer 1944. Explosives in personal gifts, assassins armed with hand grenades and pistols, and even suicide bombers with pockets full of explosives hunted the Führer, who undoubtedly recognised the danger. The security arrangements around the leader of the Nazi regime were therefore enormous when, in July 1944, Officer Claus von Stauffenberg travelled to Hitler's Führerbunker in East Prussia to kill first Adolf Hitler and then the entire Third Reich.

7 декабря 1941 года крупнейшая военно-морская база США Перл-Харбор, подверглась внезапному нападению японской армии, в течение двух часов уничтожившей большую часть американского Тихоокеанского флота. Почему американское командование, незадолго до произошедшего получившее от разведки секретные шифры и знавшее о готовящемся нападении Японии не предприняло никаких мер и допустило уничтожение множества боевых кораблей и гибель тысяч людей? Ответ на этот вопрос до сих пор не получен.
