Total War: The Story of World War II
by Peter Calvocoressi, Guy Wint (Author)

Description
Total War was designed by its authors to show a rising generation why the Second World War happened and how it was conducted. In this bold feat of compression they give as much stress and space to political, social and moral forces (not to mention intelligence and other activities 'behind the lines') as to the ensuing clashes of arms. - Back cover.Tags

Good but dated summary of the Second World War. The section on the European part of the war is better than the section on the Asian part of the war.
This book is a general discription of WWII.
