Book Reviews of The Pacific War Encyclopedia
Book Review: The Book That Got Me Interested In The Pacific War! (018)
Summary: 5 Stars
I had only a minimal knowledge of the PTO, my interest being overwhelmingly with the ETO, and when I first bought this book, it sat on my shelf for nearly a year before I really looked at it. At first I thought I could read two pages a night, and I'd have the thing read in a year. Imagine my surprise when I averaged 10 pages a night! It really opened my eyes to this side of WWII, and one of the biggest things that struck me was the huge industrial output of the US, especially in ship building. The expansion of the USN was monumental, and the book also gave me an extensive overview of this and all other aspects of the Pacific War. Personalities, aircraft and ship types, numbers, tactics, propaganda, casualties, everything I wanted to know. After finishing it, it gave me an urge to further my understanding of this conflict, which I'm still undertaking today. I can't recommend this book too highly!
A top read!
