Good selection of maps

This is a large atlas; its 14 in by 10 in. Its 65 maps cover Finland, Norway, Eastern Front, North Africa and Europe. The maps take up the full page and is accompanied by a page describing the action depicted on the map. There are varying scales to this atlas but many are in the 25 miles to the inch range. The maps are black and white while the participants are in red and blue. Maps include key cities, rivers and other terrain features. The reason for only 4 stars is the scaling on some of the maps is off. The author shows too much territory, making the key area of the battle smaller than it had to be. If less area was shown, the pertinent area could be larger and easier to see and greater detail could be given. The battle of Kursk on page 51 is a good example. Though these maps aren't in color, they're effective and anybody looking for an atlas should consider this one.
