Textbook Design

Our class textbook separates the information by country rather than by date. This is an effective method, particularly in this case where there is tons of information packed into a short time span. However, if I were to write a textbook i would have had a few differences. Most importantly, I would have had a short section in the beginning that simply ran through the whole war in chronological order, including the holocaust. This brief overview would help organize the events of the war so there was a base guideline for the reader to place the more detailed array of events against. Also, I would group the allied countries and the axis countries in the order of presentation. I would call the chapter "The Horrors of World War II and the Holocaust."
