Book Review of The Battle For History: Re-fighting World War II

The Battle For History: Re-fighting World War II
reviewed on + 117 more book reviews


My husband and I have read many books about WWII. This book introduced us to many more that we were not aware existed. However, the proofreading done on the book was abominable. The books Keegan mentioned in the text were cited in the notes at the end of the book, with information as to name, author, etc. However, the citation numbers in the text did not always align with the numbers attached to the books cited. In at least one case, there was no book listed in the notes, despite its citation in the text. At least one book listed in the notes had an incorrect name for the author. This book opened the door for us to find books that we have not read before, but was very frustrating because of the errors in it.
