Tulip: This book is so jam packed with information about WW II and all the countries who were involved, that after many weeks I’m only on page 62 trying to comprehend the magnitude of the War. This book is. comprehensive, full of maps, photos and graphs. I can’t imagine that anything was left out!

Richard A. Neider: I enjoyed reading and seeing the action of the War. Maps are very impressive and show the Wars flow from start to finish. The narrative flows with markers on the maps. Helps to locate the action. Very interesting book!

VenusVenus: Book - heavy book with a good variety of pictures and content, giving readers a little more visual learning about WWII.
Delivery to Hong Kong from US was acceptable, took 10 days from order to arrival, 3 days earlier than the expected delivery date.
Packaging - The book was placed in a box with zero protection, not even paper wrapping the book - minimum damage to the book. Whilst I appreciate the minimal packaging policies for ESG pledge, since this is an overseas delivery with the item 2 weeks on the go, bare minimum environmentally friendly wrapping would have been appreciated.

Keith Steventon: This book should be on your shelf between your DVD of the much praised TV series The World at War and your favourite book on the War. The maps take us steadily through the causes of the war, its progress and its conclusion. They cover the European struggle and the breath taking Japanese advance across the Pacific and then the exhausting and bloody American response. What do I like? That I can absorb the story in stages. What do I dislike? That it's hard to put down when I have to get some sleep.
