Resources
Since the literature on World War II is prodigious, I make no attempt here to offer a comprehensive bibliography, but restrict myself to listing only the works I directly consulted or cited in writing Choices Under Fire. The reader who seeks a general orientation regarding the scholarship and other writings on World War II would do well to start with the fine bibliographic essays presented by Gerhard Weinberg in A World at Arms (Cambridge U. Press, 1994), 921-44; and by David M. Kennedy in The American People in World War II (Oxford U. Press, 1999), 435-40.
See also the web site of the World War II Studies Association, which offers periodically updated bibliographies on the war: http://www.h-net.org/~war/wwtsa/. For a general guide to web sites on the war see J. Douglas Smith and Richard Jensen, World War II on the Web (Scholarly Resources, 2003).
