World War II Editorial Review

This book is a concise summary of World War II and its aftermath, although it focuses exclusively on battles and ignores politics and the home front. The maps included in the book are excellent, and the author does a good job of capturing the key elements of a vast and complicated subject. However, the book does not rank among the best in the Very Short Introductions series, and some readers feel that it lacks drama and acute analysis.
