Welcome to the Literature of World War Two Home Page


The purpose of this page is to give you a glimpse into some of the World War Two
materials available on the World Wide Web and at the Hoover Archives.
The research links should get you out into cyberspace and to more
and more research links. The photographs and posters from the Archives
represent a fraction of what is available to you in your research.
View these only as samples, and feel free to head down to the Archives
to browse through the materials waiting for you there. Most of all,
enjoy yourselves as you do the research for this class!
