Harrowing stories of Auschwitz, Pearl Harbor, and D-Day continue to live on, but this unbridled look at The Greatest Battles of World War II explores the lesser-known monstrosities unlike other World War II books. WWII did more than just change the fate of world history—in just six years, every corner of the globe became involved in some of the most violent crimes against humanity to ever occur. From the Battle of Stalingrad to the Battle of Midway, each of the World War 2 battles directly influenced the trajectory of the war and the world as we know it. The strength of every country’s military, intelligence, and political powers were put to the test in a war that gruesomely claimed an estimated 60 million lives, including casualties. Whether you have a great fascination for history, or you’re just looking to uncover new facts, The Greatest Battles of World War II paints a picture of the key battles of World War 2 and the impact of each on the course of the war and future of global affairs. Despite the relatively short war, there are mountains of heinous yet hugely impactful events that took place—battles to war crimes alike. You may already know about the evils of concentration camps and terrible murders of innocent people. Now, it’s time to take a look at what the history books may not have taught you. Inside The Greatest Battles of World War II , you will discover: every major event and battle from the invasion of Poland and Dunkirk to Operation Overlord and the fateful day of June 6, 1944, when Nazi efforts all came crashing down. the intricately planned military and intelligence efforts on the part of the US and its allies, which were key to the victory and end of the war. what the fate of the war might have been if these battles had gone differently, and how even the minutest details enabled the takedown of Hitler and the Nazi Party. how each and every event contributed to the drawn-out war, the eventual victory of the Allied Powers, and their far-reaching impact on the world, politics, and modern history. …plus key facts of every battle and military move for a well-rounded WWII education without the distracting and unnecessary details. The impact that World War II had on global military affairs, international politics, and national security is everlasting, and the battles of World War II played a crucial role in its influence. If you’re ready to discover World War II with clear detail and unfiltered historical accuracy, then this book is written specifically for you. Uncover the raw truth of The Greatest Battles of World War II and learn the full story! Review: Wonderful book!! - I absolutely loved this book and I’m reading it for the second time! I also loved his first book “The Immediate Aftermath of WWII”. Both books are written so well! Review: excellent summary of WW II - Not sure there was anything new here but this relatively short book does an excellent job of summarizing and explaining what was happening simultaneously on multiple battlefields. Certainly worth the read

Superficial Overview of WW2
The book follows the timeline of WW2 in a very condensed style. Probably the fact that I have done rather a lot of reading on this subject makes this offering seem rather cursory, and at times not particularly accurate. Again to shorten such a huge subject to this length is necesarily going to involve some serious compromises. Perhaps the book will be useful to someone who has no background understanding of the subject, and hence it may whet their appetite for more in-depth coverage. I remember as a young scientist reading that some concepts in physics simply couldn't be simplified beyone a certain point. This book tries to simply beyong that level. Of course my alternative is not very attractive: books such as Churchills 6 volume history of the war, Tol's Pacific War triology, Shirer's Rise and Fall of the 3rd Reich, or Glantz's Stalingrad series among many others. It's all right to read but perhaps only if you promise yourself to read the big stuff eventually so that you actually delve meaningfully into a very complex and terrible subject.
