"I cannot recommend this book highly enough to fans of military history or WWII. This book is a detailed account of a forgotten battle.
Lost in the early defeats to the Japanses in WWII is this heroic tale of a battle that could have been won, had tactical blunders not snatched defeat from the jaws of victory."
