My usual WWII book will be about a specific part of the war. I have not read a general overview of WWII in decades. Can someone recommend a current general single volume overview of the WWII? Looking for adult and high school age recomnedations.

The Second World War, Antony Beevor, might be a place to start. Can't say I've read it, but his other books didn't disappoint. So I don't imagine this one would.

One of my favorite books is Panzerkrieg, The rise and Fall of Hitler's Tank Divisions" by Pete McCathy and Mike Syron. Really great book.

For an overview, Max Hasting's Inferno: The World at War, 1939-1945 is excellent and I would also second Beevor's book as a good one.
