![]() ![]() ![]() I never understood the Pacific War or its importance in the civil ized world we have today. Marvelously informative, evenhanded and fair-minded in presentation, logical and thorough with sequence of events, with the major players, of the critical brilliance of some highly responsible men, to the mediocre and sheer stupidity of others: it all comes together in remarkable clarity. From one grossly underinformed and biased I gained a keen sense of the years leading up to the Pacific War (I am too well informed on the European War)and the conflagration the engulfed my father's generation. ![]() I rate it as among the 5 best books I have ever read. In terms of a major RETHINK of the past century and my 60 odd years as a member, this book deeply shook up my grasp of the century, and really, part of the 19th century as well. ![]()
