The World War 2 Trivia Book: Interesting Stories and Random Facts from the Second World War
When was the last time someone around you brought up World War Two?
It's a pretty popular war. Maybe you heard about it yesterday. Maybe last month. But it was probably recent. And when it came up, did you wish that you could be the one to casually drop a fact that would have everyone in the room going, "Wow, I never knew that!"
With this book, you can be that person.
You can read it in just a few minutes a day.
Chapters are bite-sized and easy to read, meant for normal people instead of war historians!
Each chapter ends with a bonus helping of trivia and some quick questions to test your knowledge.
You'll zoom through this book and be hungry for more.
Get ready to impress your friends with your knowledge - not just of the main events of World War Two, but of all the gritty details and weird true facts. By the time you finish this book, you'll have a fact for every occasion, from the first moment someone thought about having a second World War, to the most recent blockbuster movies about it.
So get ready to meet characters from Adolf Hitler, rejected art student, to Jack Churchill, the broadsword-swinging male model. Find out why World War Two started in the first place, and why it's never a good idea to invade Russia in winter. Learn why the United States was going to stay out of the war, how Canadians stole airplanes for the British, and what an orange soft drink has to do with the Nazis.
Some of the things you're going to learn are sad. Some are scary. Some are sexy. And some are downright strange! It's everything your history teacher never got around to telling you.

Praise for this book
"Bill O'Neill's trivia book is delightful. It is filled with facts and stories we should know. They are fascinating and can form the basis for interesting conversations.
For example: Hitler wanted to be an artist. He never planned to be the leader of Germany. In 1907, he tried and failed to get into art school. He was not a fan of modern paintings. Later, Germany went to a lot of trouble to make him seem like an attractive leader. His hair and mustache were purposely designed to make him look good. He was "Man of the Year" in the Time magazine of 1938, and Time praised him highly." by Israel Drazin

"This is a great book to have on your Kindle. Ideal for all those who love tidbits of facts. If you're a fan of trivia/interesting facts or stories, you'll love this book. The chapters are bite-sized and easy to read and 'meant for normal people instead of war historians!' As each chapter ends with a bonus helping of trivia and some quick questions to test your knowledge, this book will leave you hungry for more." by Piaras

"I enjoyed reading this and learning some interesting facts about WWII. Easy to read and understand, this book is perfect for trivia fans who want to know more about WWII. None of the facts are hard to find and most are well known by historians, but it's perfect for normal people who just want to know a bit more, or anyone who wants to learn some neat facts. I enjoyed the layout of this book, with short chapters ending with some trivia questions to help you think more about what you just read." by Stephanie Lynn

"Random trivia lovers unite!
Entertaining, and exactly as the author described.
Lots of trivia, facts and unknown details. Great conversation starter and I'm looking forward to pulling out this book during the holidays. My family always tries to 'out-trivia' each other, but I'll bet none of them know about Project Habukkuk!
If you're looking for help with your thesis on World War Two, this isn't it. But if you love totally random, useless trivia, or if your friends and family have ever called you Cliff Claven, you don't want to miss this one! Enjoy!" by Felicia Denise

"this was a very interesting book. the information written was very in depth and it gave a complete view of not only the wars themselves but what lead up to, caused, and what happened because of the wars. it also added the different ways that people have profited off of the wars via film, books and other media. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading another of his books." by katie mcgraw
