I think it is just a good summary. It is also good to refer to this book when you read the other books that cover certain parts of the war in greater detail.

Very thorough, factual, easy to read, and engaging. I highly recommend it.

[Bladestryke]

This books contains everything! From timelines, to what different medals mean, to detailed info on weapons and persons in the war. I'm very impressed. I went in thinking it was going to be a kids book was was surprised by the detail and how things weren't watered down. This is a must have for WWII buffs!
