Title: A Book To Be Ignored...
Review: A book that adds nothing new of importance and merely recaps observations that have been made more convincingly by others. Frankly, it reads like a compilation of the authors' lecture notes for a college survey class in "World History Of The 20th Century."Extremely superficial, with lots of personal asides like "Arnold, a sick, bitter man" that the authors never expand upon and that seem to have no relevance to the matter at hand. (For example, this reference was stuck in the middle of a very short discussion of Curtis LeMay's appointment as the replacement commanding officer responsible for strategic bombing of Japanese cities.)Similar titles by John Keegan, Max Hastings and/or Richard Overy would all be better choices.
Is the review positive or negative?
