garybakker 's review for:
Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945
by Max Hastings
What I liked most about this single volume history of WWII is that much of the focus was on the front-line soldier and sailor, and also on the impact of the conflict on the civilian population. The strategic movement of forces on land, sea and air, and the resultant battles were of course covered in the narrative, but served mostly to provide a context for the suffering that occurred by individuals and populations.
I also found it interesting that the book covered some battlefronts like Burma and Hungary that rarely get mentioned in a book like this that attempts to document the entire war.
