1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Well rounded for college classBy I heart the artThis was a required text and it had covered enough information for me to do very well. I would seek supplemental sources (web; library) for more in-depth topics. Lyons covered all the psychology; politics; history; geography; and other factors that were part of WWII. It was very easy to read and many interesting battles were described clearly. Sometimes; I would lose track of all the military regiments during battle maneuvers since there were a lot of "Army group A went south around X river; etc." but overall a comprehensive look at WWII.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It's getting 3 stars for the quality of the book not what is written on the pages ...By SarahSo what is written in the book is getting 4 stars it is pretty well written text on WWII.The book it self is cheaply made for the price it should be at least a hardbound book not paperback and the book is only 328 pages with index so it's not like it's this huge text book that cost a bunch to make it. My biggest compliment is how over priced the book is new; then how cheaply made the cover binding is .... Unless you really love WWII and want to keep the book I highly recommend renting it given how poorly the book is made.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Most parts are good to read; a good companion to my course.By SteveI got this book as a textbook I needed for a history course about WWII and Europe at my university. I felt that this book was a decent supplement to what I found to be a fascinating course. We had about 3/4th's of this book as assigned reading over the semester; and I enjoyed reading most of it. There were some parts that felt like they dragged on; but most did not. This is not like reading a novel (it shouldn't be; it's a textbook) but I think I still enjoyed most of it.
