The Book at War

DNF, this would probably be better off titled "The Book at (World) War (II)", because at least within the first 100 pages, we only really read about a sliver of historical wars, and then a large swath of World War II. I also feel like this is a series of dry factoids in search of a premise. The information presented didn't feel very cohesive, and it was difficult to figure out where things were going and how it related to the title/summary of what I thought I was getting into.

I like the cover art though. I have a reproduction of this particular image on my wall at home (sans book info, of course). The original can be found here: https://www.loc.gov/item/2002709066/
