Excellent reference.By KeskasayRecent writers have access to information that wasn't available during WWII and a lot of the information in this book/DVD combination is best explained in the newer books. However this tells it like it was in the war years. The news was either in print by reporters on the scene or on the radio as with the Edward R. Murrow broadcasts from London. The DVD is an electronic version of the book and for writers or students to have it in the computer for reference saves a lot of search time.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. TVs And Computers Are Nice; But You Can't Beat A Great Book!By Philip RoaneFirst off; please forgive me for very belatedly writing this review. Five months ago in December of 2016; I gave a great OB-GYN surgeon and a personal friend of mine a copy of this book entitled The New York Times COMPLETE WORLD WAR II; 1939-1945. My doctor friend is a World War II history buff. He was awestruck by both the size and heft of the book and truly appreciative of my Christmas gift to him. And I of course was pleased that he was pleased.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The book itself is wonderful; no complaints there at allBy CustomerReceived this book recently. The book itself is wonderful; no complaints there at all. I was especially looking forward to the DVD-ROM in order to have access to the NYT's complete coverage. The DVD-ROM was disappointing in that many months are just not there at all (at least they were not listed to be accessed so could not be viewed at all). Has anyone else had this problem or is this just a problem with my copy? I am extremely displeased with this purchase. Two stars rating due to the DVD-ROM.
