Title: 278 pages without a single map
Review: Such a pity. A book written by a former company commander about his World War II experiences should have all the prerequisites for becoming a breathtaking read, but instead it is a 278-pages long account without a single map or illustration. Highly disappointing and unbelievable for an otherwise interesting book on a military topic such as command in the field, full of place names but without the slightest graphical reference to assist the reader.I do not blame the author, as I can not possibly visualise a professional officer intentionally permitting such a blunder. But I do wonder why the publisher did not have the imagination to add even the simplest of maps?
