Maybe you think WW2 started when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor... but that was just when America got involved.
Maybe you think WW2 started when Germany invaded Poland... but that was just when England and France had finally had enough.
To really understand how WW2 started, historian Michael Trapani has written and produced an audio-book - HOW TO START A WAR - that is a vivid guide through the lurid and surprising events of the rise of the Third Reich. Together, Dawn and Michael highlight some of the most hair-raising moments, while reminding the listener of how easily it could have gone differently... if only the people involved had recognized the power they had at the time.
