Reviews

[Matt · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn’t read the whole book, which, I suppose, is a little outdated by now. I merely used the maps, photos and some of the text provided here as an ally in my engagement with Winston Churchill’s memoir of the Second World War, and this turned out to be quite satisfactory.

I really liked this book. One reason why I think I liked it so much was because the book explained all of the offensives and campaigns such as the Japanese offensive and the Burma campaign. I think this book was very accurate on the casualties and numbers. The last reason that I enjoyed this book so much is that it had lot's of maps and visual ways to understand battles and more. This is why I really liked this book.

Very nice maps, though since this book is over 40 years old, much of the information is outdated.
