Entry Text: | DEAR, I. C. B. The Oxford Companion to the Second World War. xxii, 1,343p., bibliog., illus. Oxford: OUP, 1995. ISBN: 0192141686.
An alphabetically arranged set of essays or definitions of the people, battles, and concepts of the war. A distinguished list of contributors makes this an important work, although there is the odd, if inevitable, howler such as the suggestion that Ark Royal was sunk by air attack. |
