Annotated Bibliography

//Note: Here are some sample annotations for the project I created. Your group will have significantly more entries. We just put a couple up as examples.//

Hickman, Kennedy. World War II: Battle of the Bulge. [] Web. 30 Dec. 2010. This web article is a secondary source, written by Kennedy Hickman. Hickman obtained his BA from the Pennsylvania State University in history and political science, and he received his MA from the University of Delaware in history with a certificate in museum studies. In this article, Hickman provides a great overview of what actually happened in the Battle of the Bulge. I used this source to identify important people like Dwight Eisenhower and Gerd Von Rundstedt from this event. I then researched biographies of these individuals in more depth to learn more about their role in the Battle of the Bulge.

Tally, Steve. Almost America From the Colonists to Clinton: A "What If History" of the United States. New York, Harper Collins: 2000. This book is a secondary source written by Steve Tally. Tally is the author of several books including //Bland Ambition: From Adams to Quayle - the Cranks, Criminals, Tax Cheats, and Golfers Who Made it to Vice President.// In this book Tally takes a number of famous events from American history and considers what might have happened if a different decision had been made. His book actually inspired me to create this project and I used his chapter on the Battle of the Bulge as a basis for my own alternate history.
