This is my favorite book on World War II. I have done some research on Mussolini, the Holocaust, the RAF, and Russia, but the war in the Pacific is the one area I have yet to see. It's quite amazing that the Japanese were able to dig out all those tunnels in the so that their soldiers could annihilate the U.S. Marines. When you read about the stories of the flag raisers, you get a sense of how terrible WWII was.
