Right now I'm reading the first book of the Liberation Trilogy by Rick Atkinson. He won a Pulitzer Prize in History for it.

It's called "An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa 1942-1943" LINK /

The second book covers Italy, and the third book covers Normandy to Berlin. The trilogy does not cover the Pacific.

It's been great so far.

If you're looking for an overview of the European Theatre, the Liberation Trilogy will provide it for you. I thought the Africa and Italy campaign books were better than the last book, but they are all good.
