A major study...one that thorougly interweaves the philosophies and fads; the people and movements that combined to give a small segment of Afro America a brief place in the sun.—The New York Times Book Review.

MosesA great collection of meaningful and historically important but little understood stories of World War II. These stories bring the War into the personal realm of understanding the sacrifices and acts of individuals instead of the abstract actions of armies and navies. This book is well researched and has been reviewed and updated with new tales. I would highly recommend this book for those who are World War II historians and also to those who want to know more about the most significant conflict in world history. It helps provide a connection between the people of that time; the people of today; and how that War still influences decision-making among world leaders; especially the reactions of the United States to current events.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. you are guaranteed to come away from Best Little Stories with a broader view than you had ...By Joe WIf you're interested in WWII; this book is a don't-miss. Even though some of the stories are amateurishly written; all of them are interesting. And; more important; previously untold. I grew up during the war and have read and viewed everything I could about it ever since. But despite my broad knowledge of it; I had not heard more than a couple of the stories in this book. No matter how well-read you are on the war; you are guaranteed to come away from Best Little Stories with a broader view than you had before.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Interesting readingBy old sargeThis is a good read; the stories are about real people; what they faced; and what they did in response. Their suffering; the triumphs and tragedies. This is not a dry read history book but a tale of many stories that range from tragic to uplifting.
