just a couple thoughts on the book i borrowed....

Almost finished with my book , and would recommend it to anyone that has any interest in world history. Because it was such a major part of our history.Anyway I was curious about a few things and learned quite a few things.. the previous post i made was a paragragh that caught my eye .Regarding actual combat in the war.However I also learned why Japan became involved (basically they wanted more land).Another passage I will include then i will leave it to you folks to decide if you want to read.After Germany surrendered Truman made a crucial decision that affected Europe for decades .It happened and there's a reason for everything, any way here it is:


Churchill Continued to be concerned with Soviets moves in the east. He was particularly concerned about the fate of Czechoslovakia and pleaded with the Americans to get to Prague before the Russians, but Truman refused to interfere with the decisions of his military commanders.As Churchill feared, Czechoslovakia fell into Stalin's hands and became dominated by the Communist Party.
