Las publicaciones sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial
La Segunda Guerra Mundial fue un conflicto militar que se desarrolló entre 1939 y 1945. Muchisimas fueron las publicaciones sobretodo de propaganda.
Pero fue después de la guerra, con el fin de la censura que se publicaron muchisimos libros y periódicos sobre la II Guerra Mundial, con carácter histórico y también biográfico.
Destacamos “La segunda guerra mundial” (“The Second World War”), de Winston Churchill, en 1948-1954, que fructificó al autor el Premio Nobel de la literatura en el año 1953.
