A review by skywideopen
The Second World War by John Keegan

3.0

Comprehensive and extremely lucidly written. Would have preferred a broader focus on the other aspects of the war and more attention paid to "secondary" theatres such as China, and some of the broader human costs of the war. Excellent summation of the lead-up to the war, but discussion of the various ideological drivers of the belligerents is lacking and the assessment of the final consequences is too abrupt.
