1939: A People's History of the Coming of the Second World WarIn the autumn of 1938, Europe believed in the promise of peace. But only a year later, the fateful decisions of just a few men had again led Europe to a massive world war. Drawing on contemporary diaries, memoirs, and newspapers, as well as recorded interviews, 1939 is a narrative account of what the coming of the Second World War felt like to those who lived through it. Frederick Taylor, author of renowned histories of the Berlin Wall and the bombing

In the autumn of 1938, Europe believed in the promise of peace. But only a year later, the fateful decisions of just a few men had again led Europe to a massive world war. Drawing on contemporary diaries, memoirs, and newspapers, as well as recorded interviews, 1939 is a narrative account of what the coming of the Second World War felt like to those who lived through it.

Frederick Taylor, author of renowned histories of the Berlin Wall and the bombing of Dresden, highlights the day-to-day experiences of ordinary citizens as well as those who were at the height of power in Germany and Britain. Their voices lend an intimate flavor to this often-surprising account of the period and reveal a marked disconnect between government and people, for few people in either country wanted war.

1939 is a vivid and richly peopled narrative of Europe's slide into the horrors of war and a powerful warning for our own time.

Worth it!!
These are my favorite eye patches because they stay put, blend well so you don’t look freaky if you’re wearing them during the day etc. and they work! They’re my go to when my under eyes need some extra help, which in my mid 50’s is almost all the time!! Worth the money!!

Seems like it provides good coverage
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am very much liking this for the sunscreen properties. It should be noted that your face will be white and it's hard to meld into your natural skin tones. However I'm more concerned with something that works

reliable everyday sunscreen
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
this product goes on smoother than many mineral sunscreens I’ve tried and doesn’t leave an overly thick or greasy feeling on the skin. The protection lasts well during outdoor activities, and the water resistance makes it great for the beach, workouts, or long walks in the sun.
