Negative Positive
Title: Compelling reading, Excellent historical detail.
Review: I teach high school USA History and have been a life long "student" of World War II. Both of my grandfathers fought in the war. Additionally, I read conflict non-fiction as a hobby. In the past 10 years, I estimate that I have read 200-300 conflict books. The Greatest War by Astor is my second favorite conflict book. The book begins each chapter by providing background information about the goals and strategy of a given campaign. Then the book provides first hand accounts of what happened in the battles. My 12-year-old son loves the book as well. I have bought three copies of the Greatest War this year. I have given two as gifts. P.S. My favorite conflict book is "Blood on the Risers" by John Leppleman. I have read that Vietnam conflict book 7 times.
