Customer Review:
I would recommend this book as the first to read when studying the war. Excellent portrayal of general events and how they happened. A very good general account of the major names of that day and how they contributed to the war. Could have used better/more detailed maps. A must read for those that... more info

Customer Review:
Through my readings on Okinawan history, society, and the Battle of Okinawa, I am rather confused.

from Harper Perennial

Customer Review:
Robert Leckie doesn't mince words. He writes in a rush. His writing is compact, succinct, and to the point yet he provides good detail for those events that warrant it. He does not waste time, yours or his.

This is a writer on a mission. His reader has no doubt where he stands. You will not find... more info

When I first gained an interest in history it was this book that hooked me for the long haul. A brilliant read. The prose is so compelling there were times I thought I was reading a work of fiction.

6.Helmet For My Pillow (Military History (Ibooks))Helmet For My Pillow (Military History (Ibooks))
from I Books

Customer Review:
An interesting account of three WWII battles; Guadalcanal, New Britain and Peleliu.
Some of the descriptive words used in this book are obscure which makes it a little hard to follow. I assume this is partially a factor of when the book was written.
All WWII historians need to read this... more info

8.Conflict: The History Of The Korean War, 1950-1953Conflict: The History Of The Korean War, 1950-1953
from Da Capo Press
Price: $20.00

Customer Review:

"Conflict" is classic Leckie. Written more as a newspaper account, it is more readable than a stadard treatise on the war. Leckie's inability to suffer incompetence and admiration for the common infantryman is evident in his writing, without the arrogance that Marshall often conveys. This... more info

from Da Capo Press

Customer Review:
There have been more accurate, fully-researched books written about the pivotal battle for Guadalcanal, and if what you want is a carefully-written factual history with names, dates, battle charts and footnotes, you can't do better than Richard Frank's massive epic. But if what you want is an... more info
