## Description

The American Heritage History of World War II was first published in 1966. At the time, author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist C.L. Sulzberger received widespread praise for his authoritative account of the six-year war that involved more than fifty-six nations, resulted in the death of some 22 million people, and shaped the course of history. His work became a standard reference on the war. Stephen E. Ambrose, one of the most highly regarded historians of our time, oversaw a major revision of this classic work. Seamlessly incorporating new material and insights, Ambrose produced a comprehensive and riveting account of the war’s key characters and events. In planes and foxholes, in deserts and jungles, on ships and beaches, Ambrose shines a light on the people involved - the leaders, the fighters, the victims. He also added new chapters on the atrocities of the Holocaust and revelations about the secret war of espionage. Ambrose’s analysis also offers insight into the events that precipitated the Cold War. This book captures the courage, commitment, military genius, and horror of the war that gave birth to a new era in world politics. For students, history buffs, and fascinated readers, The American Heritage History of World War II is the definitive single-volume work on the subject and will endure as a major narrative of world history.

Review: Different than most books. - The book is very good. It tells of the various issues that affected various points in the war. It describes what influenced some of the decision makers.
Review: Good history but lacking depth - This is an interesting, readable history of WWII, but it does not include any maps, which would help readers understand the layouts of the significant battles. Also, almost no mention of the extent of Hitler's mental health issues, particularly as to his deep hatred of Jews.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Different than most books.

The book is very good. It tells of the various issues that affected various points in the war. It describes what influenced some of the decision makers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good history but lacking depth
*by P***T on May 3, 2025*

This is an interesting, readable history of WWII, but it does not include any maps, which would help readers understand the layouts of the significant battles. Also, almost no mention of the extent of Hitler's mental health issues, particularly as to his deep hatred of Jews.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweeping and epochal
*by D***. on August 8, 2022*

This is a thorough work of excellent writing and analysis. Each of the major nations gets part of the spotlight until the end when there is a necessary focus on the U.S. and Russia. There are not bogged-down parts of numbers, they are used to show strength of foes and industrial advantage. This book is a keeper and should be read more than once.
