A lot of this book is beyond disturbing. It can be very hard to read, yet it’s important. Could be intensely triggering, read with caution.

dark emotional informative inspiring fast-paced

4.5

Essentially an abbreviated history of the air war in the Pacific during WWII. By turns inspiring, informative and depressing this volume is a comprehensive and detailed story which focuses on the tiny island of Chichi Jima, near Iwo Jima. Highly recommended.
