Reviews

[Eric · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not quite the blockbuster I had been expecting and at some points rose only to the level of adequate storytelling. One note indicates this to be an abridged edition which fits with my on-the-listen assessment.

A very interesting overview of WWII with primary personal stories woven with primary sources.
