Drugi svjetski rat

Sulzberger's sober, sometimes dry but almost always interesting text relies on rich illustrative material, largely unknown to our readership. Many of the pictures are such that, if we do not look at them superficially, without imagination and feeling, they directly and abruptly confront us with the glory, suffering and darkness of the second world war and every war; in their totality they act as a poignant documentary film with numerous and extraordinary sequences.

The author's calm narration does not have its excitingly honest, energetic and bitter extensions not only in the pictures but also in the statements of many witnesses, which are supplemented with each chapter. Therefore, the book is a large collection of sources, i.e. their excerpts.
