Murray and Millett’s textbook on the Second World War provides a compelling overview of the war, mixing together all three major theaters with equal devotion to each major player. They do an exceptional job of mixing military tactics, individual commanders, and soldiers themselves. However they do not really delve into many political or cultural questions.

This is a very thorough look at World War II, examining strategy in detail and presenting the complex issues and personalities that drove the war forward. There is some authorial bias (I was rather amused by how snarky they were over Bradley) but for the most part it stays neutral. It's an extremely valuable resource if you want to study World War II.
