Voices from the Second World War: Stories of War As Told to Children of Today | 
so-soI was underwhelmed by this. The selection of voices was strangely limited. The focus is British, and that's fine, but ignores the Commonwealth countries (while having plenty of USA testimony) and their contributions. It spends precious few pages on the Holocaust and has a host family member born in 1940 speaking for a kindertransport child (a great number of whom are alive and well). It also erases the British government's role in Turing's death.

Although this book is aimed at kids, this was an incredibly powerful read. The book features first hand accounts of the war and some of them are absolutely heartbreaking.
Overall, this is an amazing and comprehensive book about World War II. if you are interested in learning hearing real stories from WWII, I highly recommend you pick this book up.
