Title: Caveat to scholars.
Review: A cross-cultural study should have a bibliography and footnotes/endnotes, so this is a caveat to scholars of East Asian history and the Pacific war in general: this book has neither, nor does it account for its sources, other than to offer "recommended readings." Since most of the works cited there are familiar, it's hard to say how much of the material here is original.
Is the review positive or negative?
