Hastings "Inferno".

Also, the "A Short History" series of books is pretty good based on what I've read.

The Storm of War by Andrew Roberts is a good book that describes the entire WWII but mainly focuses on what the Nazis did wrong rather than what the Allies did right.

What about this one? Is Beevor honest?

Anyone who calles WWII "the good war" unless in the ironic sense is entirely worthless.

No. Beevor is a pop historian. Try Overy instead.
