5.0 out of 5 stars Information for history buffs and genealogy info-seekers, 8 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This thin book is amazing for the amount of basic detail and information. It was great for getting a simple start on my genealogy project for a general understanding of what the invasion was about and for a non-military reader. It's easy to read and highly recommend to WWII history buffs. Only complaint I had was the high price for the size of the paperback book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Thin treatment of a fascinating story, 26 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I had always wanted to read a solid analysis and telling of the Okinawa campaign. Unfortunately, the author's book disappoints.

First, there are no maps. This is a fatal error for a battle whose places are unfamiliar and whose units are unknown -- particularly the Japanese. Reference maps of the island and the progress of the campaign would have helped orient the reader and clarified some of the story.

The author highlighted various parts of the battle but left others under explored. While the facets he focused on are satisfactory, I came away wishing that the parts had been tied together to form a more coherent whole. Overall, not bad, but could have been better
