Title: Excellent Single Volume History of WWII
Product review: Because of his years in Columbia University's War Documentation Project and his work microfilming captured German documents for the American Historical Association, Gerhard Weinberg has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of World War II. This massive book is the apex of Weinberg's work on the war, and it summarizes the entire war in a single volume. At a recent lecture i was impressed by the author's derision at Nazi strategy, which he considers highly overrated. Weinberg writes simply and with great clarity, and while this book will seldom be read cover-to-cover, it will be memorable for the WWII enthusiast or the general reader.
