Query: confusing collage of history

This book goes back and forth between several characters and sub plots so much that it is hard to follow the central theme, if indeed there is one. Parts of the narratives are long and boring and then without warning a different scene and character takes over for a short glimpse of the twilight of courage and jumbles any chance at sorting out the emotion or thought that proceeded it. I would rather read a book that follows one theme or story until it is finished and then begins another one. I love reading WW2 books, but this is the most confusing and boring one I have ever read.
