Got it in my EPUB library. Gave it a quick scroll-through, looks like a very detailed take on the whole of the Pacific War, but it seems to lose a lot of time explaining things that we regard as common knowledge, instead of going into deeper historiographic analysis of specific events and details.
Left me with a bit of a 'My First Pacific War History Book' impression. Not in a pejorative sense, mind you, but I don't think I'll be reading it soon.
If someone read it and I'm wrong, please tell me so. First impressions can be misleading. [:D]
