This story was amazing. I enjoy the author's writing style and the way that she tells the story, but mixes in the right amount of the history of America, the world and most importantly, World War II. While I have a respectable knowledge of the war in Europe, I found that there was much about the war in the Pacific that I had no idea was occuring. It definitely makes me want to read a good history of this side of World War II. And, we all need to have a better understanding of what soldiers went through then, and are continuing to go through today. A definite read.
