There are many, many books about the War. This one stands out because 1) it is free, and 2) the ratings are through the roof, both at Amazon (4.6 stars (36) and GoodReads 4.39 (67). I encourage you to read the review on the only 1-star rating (the only one at Amazon under 4-star) at Amazon, however, questioning the legitimacy of the book, to see if you think that it has any merit.

If it was removed from print in 1949, the copyright was very unlikely to have been renewed and so the book would have entered the public domain in 1978 or so, 28 years later
