This book is huge, being 14 by 10.5 inches large, most of the maps are large. With the wealth of information included on each map plus the large size, its easy to grasp the importance of each map. Each map includes pertinent cities, rivers, other terrain features and troop movements. This atlas usually has sufficient details to allow you to follow along when your reading other books. There has been many times when the book I'm reading has no map or a poor map and this atlas will have what is needed. One item that is missing is a mileage scale. When Bryansk fell to the Germans in 1941, it would be interesting to know how close they were to Moscow. Or in the Ardennes offensive, it would be useful when following Peiper's progress, to determine how close he was getting to the Meuse River.In general the atlas is great but there are two areas that disappoint; First area is in the Aachen-Roer River sector when Collins was trying to advance in the last quarter of 1944. There is a map of the area but it lacks details of towns, terrain etc to be really helpful when trying to follow a book you're reading. I've checked four other notable atlases and their coverage of this area and time is also lacking. The second area concerns Hoth's advance in the Abganerovo region, south of Stalingrad in Aug - Sept 1942. There is a map of this area but greater detail would be nice. This is the exception; generally these maps have more data points than other general purpose atlases.There are more towns, cities, rivers, and other terrain features displayed on these maps than on other atlases. There are also many double page maps rendering huge displays, making it easy to study a heavily populated environment.
