--------------------------------------------------------
A well organized and well written, all-encompassing account of Europe during World War II. Focus is not on solely on describing the combat and political events, but includes chapters on the economic, psychological, and scientific dimensions of the war. I also like the extensive (40pp) and well organized bibliographic essay.
This book is from the Rise of Modern Europe series. I like this book enough that I'm going to pick up the volume covering the Napoleonic years. |
