Online Magazine Articles

Students researching and writing about World War II can enhance their assignments by reading articles that were written around the time of the war. While textbooks can provide students with basic information, such as the underlying causes for World War II and the dates of key battles, they may provide little insight into how the war affected the people of the time. In contrast, articles that were published in period magazines emphasize the social commentary of the time. They allow today’s readers to better understand the zeitgeist of this tumultuous period in history.
