1939: A People's History of the Coming of the Second World WarIn the autumn of 1938, Europe believed in the promise of peace. But only a year later, the fateful decisions of just a few men had again led Europe to a massive world war. Drawing on contemporary diaries, memoirs, and newspapers, as well as recorded interviews, 1939 is a narrative account of what the coming of the Second World War felt like to those who lived through it. Frederick Taylor, author of renowned histories of the Berlin Wall and the bombing

In the autumn of 1938, Europe believed in the promise of peace. But only a year later, the fateful decisions of just a few men had again led Europe to a massive world war. Drawing on contemporary diaries, memoirs, and newspapers, as well as recorded interviews, 1939 is a narrative account of what the coming of the Second World War felt like to those who lived through it.

Frederick Taylor, author of renowned histories of the Berlin Wall and the bombing of Dresden, highlights the day-to-day experiences of ordinary citizens as well as those who were at the height of power in Germany and Britain. Their voices lend an intimate flavor to this often-surprising account of the period and reveal a marked disconnect between government and people, for few people in either country wanted war.

1939 is a vivid and richly peopled narrative of Europe's slide into the horrors of war and a powerful warning for our own time.

Beware - Few Instructions Fiddly Software!
Color: dark
Against my better judgement I'm going to go ahead and keep this little device since I was able to figure out how to move around in the software. So these are first impressions, but clearly, I'm not impressed so far. If you're not comfortable with pressing buttons to see what happens then I'd advise you to look elsewhere. The device is packaged nicely, and when plugged into power, it popped right on and started recording. I know the product description says it comes with a 64 gb TF (mico-SD) card but the device's specs say it's only capable of seeing 32 gb. To get the card in and out of the device (because the only way to save videos is to remove it from the camera, put it into a card reader and plug that into your PC, laptop, or smartphone) both the power cable and the rear facing camera cables have to be unplugged. The instructions say it comes with a suction cup mount...it does not. You have to fiddle with a sticky pad to attach to your windshield, pull the cover off the other side and attach the camera to the sticky pad. Make sure the camera is placed where you want it because you only get one shot apparently. We'll see how it does, the picture appears clear on its little screen and it plays videos back quickly, it's just extremely fiddly moving around with the buttons and there are NO instructions how to get to those functions. But, it is what it is, and you get what you pay for...the jury's still out on it's functionality.

Better Than Manscape
Color: Gold &black
This little trimmer is incredible. I have had a Manscape for a few years now, but it nipped me and the battery life was garbage. However, this bad boy hasn't cut me once, it charges quick, and lasts forever. My wife and I will both use it back to back and has no issues. She uses it in the shower and it holds up. It's comfortable, doesn't over heat, and works great. Again... I think it's way better than manscape.

Highly recommended
Color: Bright Purple
I recently purchased the OLOV Electric Body Hair Trimmer and I give it a full 5 stars! This isn’t my first time buying from OLOV—my initial purchase was for myself, and I’ve been impressed with its quality and performance. This time, I bought one for my wife, and she absolutely loves it! It’s easy to use, reliable, and delivers excellent results. Highly recommend this trimmer for anyone looking for a dependable grooming tool.

Nice shaver and is easy to use.
Color: Gold &black
The olov electric body hair trimmer does a good job shaving the arms and legs but you have to be careful when shaving the private area . You have to stretch the skin on the privates as you shave between the inner thigh it will nick the skin on the scrotum.The olove is narrow enough to shave the privates.
