The Greatest War: American’s in Combat: 1941-1945
I was a bit hesitant to pick up this book as it is over 1000 pages. And how could it hope to cover such a vast scope? All in all, I think the author did a great job. Work is focused on first person accounts and covers all theaters. At times, very raw and visceral descriptions of what the men saw and did. Not a buff and polish homage like Brokaw. In fact, author appears to take Brokaw to task at end of the book. Refreshing to say the least.
