Summary
The Second World War was one of the most traumatic events in human history. Across the world, existing conflicts became connected, entangling nations in a vast web of violence. It was fought on land, sea, and air, touching every inhabited continent. Over 55 million people died, some of them combatants, some civilians caught up in the violence, and some murdered by their own governments. It was the war that unleashed the Holocaust and the atomic bomb upon the world. But it was also a war that featured acts of courage and self-sacrifice on every side.

Kudos To This Author
Any additional comments?
Perhaps never before have I learned so much about one event in any book I have ever encountered. The author gives day by day results of the war with stories here and there along with some background political information. It is detailed, but not overwhelming. I recommend this book to anyone interested in WWII.

I didn't Have That Information
Any additional comments?
The level of detail that this author has taken is impressive. I found this book also hard to put down. This volume covers the war in a day-by-day chronological history with references to later events to tie lives together.

Worst War,,,Well Explained
Any additional comments?
This book about the world's worst war is extensive and, as always, well researched. The author writes about the collectivism of the Germans and Japanese which allowed their societies to become intolerant of others. The concept that Germans or Japanese were a 'superior' people destined for world conquest and rule was paid for by tens of millions of human beings dying in this tragic war.

Bitter Truth But History
Any additional comments?
World War II is the area of history that I study the most, and this book is its best description that I have ever seen. The detail is incredible and for the first time I was given a truly complete, unbiased picture of the war.

Significant Information
Any additional comments?
This book is loaded with information. The battles and the men and women who endured. It is a little difficult to read because of the amount of information that it contains. You may know the history...but there are details in this book you can probably never imagine. Well worth the time.

Exactly What I Want
Any additional comments?
The author obviously made the decision to give to a detailed factual account, an almost daily blow by blow chronicle, opposed to a more interpretive analysis and he has succeeded as far as one can succeed with this one dimensional story telling.
