Lots of detail ,maps, some pictures but difficult to stay interested. Very thorough but hard reading because of many editing errors. Good classroom resource.

This is a volume in the U.S. Army’s “green book” series that was produced after World War II ended. The series was written by professional historians who had wide-ranging access to materials. It was produced for a military audience, as well as the general public. Emphasis is on the subjects

of logistics, planning, tactics, operations, and effectiveness/outcomes. Because it was published by the Army, ground and air operations dominate the text. Naval operations are briefly mentioned. Maps are top quality. The photographs are black and white. Some are difficult to make out. There are a couple of primary documents in the appendix. While it recounts some experiences from individual soldiers, it is not a foxhole-to-foxhole narrative. It is very informative and well worth reading. Show Less
