The easiest listening of WW2 history ever for me!

A LOT of information to digest and the narrator helped a great deal. I liked the short reminder reviews as I went along. Not too many, not too few. I highly recommend The History Journals version of WW2 and Liam Dale is a really good story teller. 5 stars for all ratings. I learnt a lot. Some pronunciations not perfect but an English voice over. Not easy to cover all languages. Thank you.

Do not read this book

The basic problem with this book is that the author seems to have a “fan boy” view of WW2. The Allies are underdogs who only make honest mistakes and will win out in the end because there side is noble and just, seems to be the authors defining thesis of the book. He use this thesis to justify so many things, that should be explained not justified. There are far better histories that give a more competent understanding of the realities of WW2, the good and bad of the Allies, along with the horror of the Axis.
