Nice broad overview of WWII. I wanted more detail on some critical events, but it's hard to put too much detail into one book. I liked how he talked about the conflict from the point of view of the victims you don't hear much about. Millions of people were affected by this horrible worldwide event. The U.S. was one of the least affected in terms of casualties. Interesting book for those not that familiar with the history of World War II--or those who just think they are.
