You have to judge this book against the excellent "Military Atlas of the first Word War" by the same author. Just a short comparison to make the point clear: MAFWW had over 250 maps, a short introduction to the course of war in each chapter and as main advantage unbiased information "why" things happened in WW1.This book now has less maps (about 150) for a much longer period, no written introduction, no "before", "why", "and then.." maps, so what you got is basically 10-20 maps for each section, providing you with nothing else but army movements etc. which would be ok, but then these are the kind of maps that you get with each introductonary book for each of the wars depicted. This atlas does not offer any explanatory information on what happened, so you'll have to buy a companion book, if you're interested in a specific war and most likely this companion book would contain at least the same amount of maps. So there is no point in buying this book. Besides that, the paper quality is quite bad.
