keithsdiary 's review for:

5.0

I'm going to take a moment to just pat myself on the back. Over a month after beginning this beast, I have finally completed it. Spending hours and hours underlining and commenting in the margins - reading at a pace of slightly over 20pgs an hour - I'm so thankful to have committed that effort to this masterpiece:

Inferno completely changed my viewpoint on the Second World War. It provided incredible insight and horrific details that have sufficiently expanded my knowledge of the subject. I know the one volume history acts as an outline to the magnitude of the war itself, but I have still learned so much about it. I consider myself to be a history buff, yet this book has gone above what I could have ever imagined: I have used almost forty tabs on especially awesome quotes and figures.

It is the definitive one volume history on the war.
