5.0

A very interesting and very good one volume work on World War II. It focused more on a layman's view of the war. Few bloated quotes from politicians and generals and more focus on the soldiers and civilians, which I found to be an interesting approach, even if it was clunky to start off. I've now read two single volume works on World War II and this one would be placed #2 on that list (Antony Beevor's book is a triumph) but I am happy I read it and found it very interesting and engaging.
