Reviews

"a good account...extensive personal testimony...dramatic narrative"--Global War Studies; "brings together all facets of the story.... Recommended"--Library Journal; "an interesting synthesis of the ground-level combat...indispensable"--Choice; "a good account of the battle, with excellent maps and some rarely-seen photographs, its primary contribution is the inclusion of extensive personal testimony from memoirs, and interviews. These individual accounts lend color and immediacy to an already dramatic narrative--Stanley L. Falk, Philippine war historian.
