Reviews for Annihilation: A Global Military History of World War II
"Zeiler successfully strikes a balance between the details of specific battles and campaigns and the larger picture. He also avoids the clichés that tend to appear in the military histories of World War II. . . . Zeiler has written an impressive synthesis that does an excellent job of bringing together the complex elements of the war."
