Amazing.

For the amount of detail covered, this book is a really great read. It takes place in the Pacific Theater of WWII and offers the perspectives of both the Americans and Japanese. It follows the Tail End Charlies from just before through the campaign to capture Okinawa.

This book was recommended, and borrowed, from a friend. I returning this book, but will definitely be adding this one to my library.

What in the actual frick?! There was a point where Kamikazi wasn't enough, so Imperial Japan attached wings, a cockpit, and a gas tank to a rocket powered bomb.

I'm really having a hard time processing this. I can't imagine the mindset on either side of this "weapon".

Next up! This one came highly recommended from a good friend. It covers the tail end of the Pacific theater of WWII. About 20 pages in and it's already promising.
