Published in 1952 and written by a war correspondent. This covers mostly the Western allies' involvement but touches briefly on the larger struggle on the Eastern front. The writer had met most of the senior Western allied commanders and was able to describe their viewpoints and methods of thinking, and how they interacted. These were meshed with the `Big Three' strategic objectives and also touch on the political objectives and post-war strategy. From that standpoint alone, it is worth reading, to give an understanding of why events occurred as they did. I found it a most interesting read.
