Perhaps written from a British viewpoint. The 288 pp offer a thorough overview of the total war from 1938 thru 1945. Maybe just somewhat light on the Japanese conflicts. Nonetheless this book gives good coverage of the Burma campaign and a good overview of the Russian involvements. . The author was a rescued merchant seamen who subsequently survived to enjoin the British Naval efforts. The appendices offer a multi page timeline of 20pp each containing action dates divided into 6 geographical theatres, plus 36 biographical sketches of the major contestants.

"The Second World War was the largest and most appalling military conflagration in history. It killed millions of people. It destroyed much of the old Europe. It altered the world balance of political and economic power. Its consequences are incalculable and are everywhere with us still.In his now classic book, The World at War, Mark Arnold-Forster tells the story of the War in a simple, bold and highly readable way. He illuminates each of the main theatres individually, so that the complex development of the various campaigns can be easily followed. Making use of original documents as well as first-hand interviews, he has produced a history which is both authoritative and intensely vivid. Originally written to accompany the Thames Television series of the same name, The World at War has since been fully revised and now, for the first time, includes a substantial introduction by Richard Overy, which brings to bear the most recent scholarship and ensures that the book remains one of the best possible accounts of this cataclysmic period."
