The Library of Congress World War II Companion by Margaret E. Wagner

A nice reference book, I'm sure, but the thing is written exactly like a high school textbook, with all of the boredom that implies. I'm looking for a well-written and detailed account of the war and its many facets, and this book wasn't it.
