4.0

dark informative medium-paced

looking forward to next volume. well thought out and researched overview of the start and early years of the asian pacific theater of wwii. good primer for those who only know of pearl harbor and atomic bombs. most interesting parts were of chinese and japanese command choices (and aus tbh) as majority are unknown to those with a us history background. the complexity of the english empire and its defense were highlights as well.
