World War Two, Cause and Effect
An excellently researched document that is rich in factual detail. Even people who have never felt the need to delve into the history of WW2 would find the information of great interest. The writing is didactic and the facts could be used as mnemonics for the reader to conduct his or her own research.
The author has strengthened the historical detail by analysing the various strengths and weaknesses of some of the generals as well as analysing the strengths and weaknesses of the campaigns themselves. The author has also raised alternatives to the various actions in the form of “what ifs”. This brings the reader into the present era, answering questions that the reader would indubitably raise upon reading the historical narratives.

The written style is derived directly from the style used by the author when presenting to a large and very erudite audience. Upon reading this document the reader should bear this in mind, as there might be information offered but not expanded upon due to the fact that the background to the information was taken and accepted by the audience, as read. In other words, the audience had some or even a great deal of knowledge about the event or events being written about. As such there is no prolix which results in concise information.
There is no doubt that the author has a most profound knowledge of the history of WW2. His research has been prodigious; nonetheless he has taken pains to present the information in a manner to ensure that literally every member of the reading public would derive great pleasure in reading this compendium of information.
The work is a very valuable document which could take its place proudly among other works of WW2.
