Query: Thought Provoking - A Book to Be Considered

As one can tell by the variety of opinions voiced in the other reviews, this is a thought provoking book. It is wonderfully researched and makes use of cultural history to tell a side of the story of the Pacific war that many would just as soon not think about. The fact that racial prejudices influenced what decisions were made by the commanders and the individuals who participated in this theater must be pondered by anyone who seriously wishes to understand the Pacific war and the aspects of human thought that were revealed by the war. This is an important work that must be considered, whether one agrees with the authors views or not.
