I'm looking for a really readable account of the Warsaw ghetto uprising.
Also, I've got a 13 year old who is interested in WWII military weaponry (particularly planes). Anyone got any great titles to recommend?
Also, a good general account of the WWII years would be nice. I'm currently enjoying Harry Turtledove's alternative-history science fiction WWII books, and would like to immediately follow them with a refresher course in what really happened. Ideally, I'd like to find a book which focuses more on people/biography than on weaponry and tactics -- though as I said above, I also need a weaponry book.
Thanks for your thoughts.
