Pleeeeeese give me some advice with my research Paper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've posted what I have so far...?
any advice or opinions WELCOMED, I'm stumped:( Ok so its for History class and I chose Americas involvement in World War II. I had to pick sources and I picked Eisenhower's memoir of D-Day and his naval aid officers diary that he took over the three years Eisenhower was general so that includes D-Day. But the way these books are written is so uninteresting and dry there is no good information in them so now I don't know what to do. And I have to site my sources. So Please read what I've got and and if you have any options of how I could lay the rest of it out or discuss it would really help. Thanks so much!!!!!!!! Oh it's got to be 4 pages I've got only about 1 so far;( There are so many facets of World War II that can be researched, discussed and even argued, some examples are Adolf Hitler, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, military nurses and what they witnessed, tales of heroism, the list goes on and on. This is perhaps why there is such a vast majority of books and documentaries that have covered different elements of that truly unforgettable time in history. As a result there are no doubt countless events that may come to mind when thinking about WWII but when considering America’s involvement in the war an event that is recognized for being one of the bloodiest days in our countries history may come to mind and that is the day American soldiers were sent to storm the beaches of Normandy, also known as D-Day. A few books that give profound insight into this tragic incident and the days surrounding it are Dwight D. Eisenhower’s own personal memoir “Crusade in Europe”, Captain Harry C. Butcher’s “My Three Years with Eisenhower” a private diary of Eisenhower’s actions during that time written by Eisenhower’s naval aide and “War Stories” written by Elizabeth Mullener which contains countless tales from soldiers who made it out alive. All three of these books contain individual accounts of that day and period in time and therefore are able to give superior insight into America’s participation in WWII and D-Day. On Tuesday June 6, 1944 American troops met with Canadian and British troops on the beach of Normandy to try and impede German forces. Eisenhower had been put into the position of commander over the Allied Expeditionary Force giving him total control over the troops that were to invade France. D-Day or also known as, Operation Overload, was the commencement of one of the biggest invasion in the history of warfare and would turn the tide of WWII. By this time WWII had been going on for several years beginning with Hitler’s invasion into Poland in 1939. The U.S had been reluctant to get involved with the war b

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
