Title: Important Battle Story Marred by Poor Writing
Review: This book is sadly deficient in writing quality, a fact that is perhaps more apparent to me right now because I've just finished reading two other World War II histories, both superbly written: "Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway," and "Flags of Our Fathers," about the six Marines who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. While the factual material here is worthwhile, you'll have to wade through considerable cliched verbiage to get to it. I'm gritting my teeth and doing it so far, but it's not an enjoyable effort. You might want to try a different book on this subject.
