3.0 out of 5 stars A young marine's experiences during the Battle of Okinawa, Jan 7 2001
By A Customer
This book provides an "up close and personal" view of the Battle of Okinawa as seen through the eyes of a young marine rifleman. It's value is that it takes the reader into the minds of the writer and his fellow marines. However, there are numerous typographical and factual errors that compromise its usefulness as a serious reference book about the Okinawan people and their culture. Approach it as an action novel, rather than as a scholarly treatise on the subject, and you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I suprised myself, Oct 6 2000
By "barbmet" (Roxbury, CT USA) - See all my reviews
When this book came my way I thought I would give it a try, although this isn't the type of book I normally read. I suprised myself by staying up all night until I finished. There is a nice balance of historical facts and autobiography. Personally, I enjoyed the the biographical parts best. Several times I was reduced to tears. There were parts where horrors of the war were so realistic that I could hardly go on. Lots of great pictures. You certainly don't have to be a fan of historical or World War II books to enjoy this one!
