"For those familiar with the broad outlines of World War II history, this book offers insights and perspectives on specific points of interest. It does not need to be read chronologically. One can move from subject to subject for interesting highlights of a much larger story."
"Collection of brief articles/accounts on various, lesser-known episodes from the Second World War. Some are absolute gems, such as the account of the attempted palace coup in Japan at the very end of the war?"
"Well like any collection of essays, the book is only as good as the current essay you are reading. Most of them were really well done. Some weren't. But overall it was a good book that brought to light new takes and details on events I kind of take for granted that I already knew."
