"Retribution" by Max Hastings
The 1944-1945 war against Japan. Good read, but if you like Douglas MacArthur you won't like this book.
BTW, I'm not a MacArthur guy.

I enjoyed it but it didn't tell me much more than what I already knew from reading "The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle: Memoir of a WWII Bomber Pilot." If you can find "Memphis Belle: Biography of a B-17 Flying Fortress" at your library I would give it a shot but the pricing for buying it used has gotten to be bit ridiculous since it is no longer in print.That looks an interesting book Wheels - what's your opinion?
Aaron, just about to start on 'Most Dangerous Enemy' - got it for a snip at Cosford last month.
Marcel - coincidence; just seen that book on special offer.
Just finished reading 'Operation Mincemeat', by Ben Macintyre, the true story, warts and all, behind 'The man who never was', the deception plan for the invasion of Sicily. A good read, with lots of fascinating info. Just ordered his other work, 'Agent Zig Zag', the story of 'triple' agent Eddie Chapman, the subject of the 1960s movie 'Triple Cross', staring Christopher Plummer.
