Book Reviews of The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945
Book Review: A good general history
Summary: 4 Stars
I listened to the audio version while driving and found it excellent. I have read MANY WWII histories. One of my favorite types is the story of the common man. This is one such book. I found a few suspect conclusions stated without support, but generally found the book accurate. The general approach was to look at the war from the perspective of four different cities in the US. I liked the idea, but it was a little bit difficult to follow when the a story shifted among the four. The fact that the book was often depressing I found to be an indication that the book had met it's goal of telling a realistic story. ALL wars are depressing.
