Good read, yes. The fact that really stands out is that all of the numbers were overwhelmingly in favor of the allies from the beginning. Japan, Germany and (Italy) were underdogs before the first shot was fired.
It was only a matter of time and much bloodshed before the war was ended.

Churchill's strategy to win the war was, essentially: get America into the war!
