Droke, Maxwell. Good-by to G.I. New York: Abingdon-Cokesbury Press, 1945.
Distributed to servicemen after World War II, this book gives some insight into life in the 1940s. Soldiers returning from war were given instruction on how to assimilate back into American society. For my project on the psychological effects of war, I found the tone of this book very interesting. Several direct quotes from this manual appear in my research paper.

LeBor, Adam. Hitler’s Secret Bankers: The Myth of Swiss Neutrality during the Holocaust.
Secaucus, NJ: Carol Publishing Group, 1997.
In this book, LeBor takes on the idea of Swiss neutrality during World War II. Most accounts of the war show Switzerland as a neutral country, but LeBor has uncovered evidence of collaboration between the Swiss government, Swiss banks, and Nazi Germany. LeBor relies on a great deal of unclassified primary documents, and his book gave me a great framework for my research.
