It wasn't what I expected, since it's a lot of like, social and technological and cultural history. I was expecting your token military-political tome.
It's interesting but quite dry at the same time, which is fine by me.
I finished that book. It got a little better. Overall, I'd avoid it unless you intend to write a history essay and need some secondary sources. I also read a collection of counterfactual WW2 essays. The collection started off rather well-done before spiraling into mediocrity.
Now I'mma read a book on Verdun. Should take me through to the end of the month.
