Title: Don't waste your money
Review: The book was a great disappointment and filled with anti-American sentiments.The historical background was very poorly presented. A case in point was the discription of Waller's long walk on Samar and the execution on 11 natives. The author made it sound like Waller was out hiking on a whim and he just decided out of the blue to execute a bunch of innocent harmless natives. Nothing could be futher from the truth. The author also seems to go out of his way to describe most Marine Officers of the era as hopeless,uneducated drunks. He also described Pete Ellis as a racist lush. As a Marine veteran and a Patriotic American, I was highly offended by the obvious off hand slanderous comments about America and the Marine Corp. This book was either very poorly researched, or the author deliberately distorted historical truths for a personal agenda.The only reason one could have for buying this book is the fact that are no other books on Pete Ellis to choose from.
Is the review positive or negative?
