News from CUP Cambridge University Press has announced three titles in its Cambridge History of the Second World War series will be published in April:
News from OUP Oxford University Press has announced it will be publishing softcover reprints of the entire Germany and the Second World War series in May of this year. OUP's hardcovers—English translations of the original Das Deutsche Reich und der Zweite Weltkrieg series—proved hideously expensive, and the softcover editions will be far more affordable, but still not exactly cheap. Whatever the price, these books come as close to an official German history of the war as we are ever likely to see.
