About this listen
In this compelling study, the author addresses the big human and military questions. Why did the Allies not win the war in 1944, when they were vastly stronger than the Germans? Why did the Russians produce the best generals? What was it like to fight the British, American, German, and Soviet armies?
This book embraces the fates of more than a hundred million people, from the tragic teenage fanatics who died in the ruins of Hitler's Reich to the British "Tommies" who simply yearned to finish a painful job and go home. Few books on the Second World War have so vividly brought together the story of the battlefields, east and west, with the decisions of the generals and the impact of great events upon ordinary soldiers and civilians.

Loved it
Just what I was after - a summary of these events without getting too much in to the weeds.

focuses on human exp more than strategic overview
this book doesn't attempt to provide a broad overview of the european campaigns, it focuses more on the human experiences of those impacted by the fighting. Narration isn't great, it's sometimes difficult to pick a quote from general narration. Not awful but not great either
