Summary: This is a must read for every American!
Comment: I read this book cover to cover in a week. This book is the perfect balance of historical information intertwined with personal stories from the soldiers who were there. It takes you from the first German shot to the atomic bomb in story like fashion. I learned more from this book than I did in all of my college history classes. You will be amazed at the accuracy and details Miller puts into this book. I am also ashamed at myself that I did not completely know the unbelievable sacrifices made by our troops during this conflict. Especially the untold battles in Italy and the Pacific. Also, I have new respect for the role minority soldiers played in combat. True heroes. Buy this book!

Summary: best book ever on WWII
Comment: I have just finished reading this book,and I have read a number of books on World War II over the years. The Story of World War II by Donald L. Miller is by far the best it covers every aspect of the war from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, it is well written and very hard to put down. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in WWII or not

Summary: A Great Work
Comment: If a person only had one choice of WWII books to read, I would recommend this one. It is a great overview of the major events and theaters of operation. Wonderfully woven into the fabric of events are eyewitness accounts that are very graphically depicted making the reading interesting. Also there is a super bibliography provided. This book will excite you to further reading on many of the events that unfold which is about the highest compliment I can think of for a war history. I agree that Miller revised the original to make it more PC. To this extent the inclusion of the African-American involvement in the war is somewhat "forced" on the reader and stands out as an attempt to be politically correct.
This is a must read for anyone interested in WWII history.
