A nice reference book that covers all of WWII with maps and key events

This is a great reference book and one of my favorites. It can be useful for students first reading about the war or for old pros as a quick reference. Its a fairly large book at 12 in by 9 in. Its format is a chronological timeline that includes all military theaters. It begins at the end of WWI and works its way to post war problems up to just before the Korean War. Many listings are military- land sea and air but there are also listings on politics, concentration camps, the bomb etc. These event listings are not just a few words but a meaningful description that you can understand and appreciate. In addition to these event listings, there are maps that give greater meaning to the text. The maps are large and easy to read with a wealth of info included. Most of the maps are full page or near full page that contains relevant cities, rivers etc. There are footnotes at the bottom of each page that helps the reader following a particular timeline. Say you wanted to study only the Russian front, the footnotes would lead you to the next relevant chronological page in the progression. This system is unique; I've never seen it in any other book. The table of contents is easy to follow and is an easy means of finding specific events. There is a comprehensive index that also helps you find what you need. There is also a page listing additional reading if your so inclined. I highly recommend this book, especially for beginners or casual readers who do not have or want many books on the war. The book is easy to use, has descriptive listings and useful maps.
