What’s a good book/resource to learn about WWII?

by snappyshags

I want to learn about the Second World War - how and why it started, part played by each country involved, how it affected economies, big events throughout the war, war crimes and so on

Any suggestions/recommendations would be helpful. Thanks

I'd suggest reading Ian Kershaw's "Hitler", it's pretty good look into WWII, the reasons behind it and why it was like it was, obviously with Hitler as the main reference point:
