Poorly done. This book is so full of errors I began to highlight them. Examples; pg. 25 "a loaded Browning .45." While the pistol was developed by John Browning, it was produced by, and named for, Colt. pg.191 "a B-24 or B-29 bomber flying in a westerly direction. it had to have taken off from Tinian and was on a bombing run to Japan." B-24s never flew to Japan from Tinian, it was much too far. If it was a B-29, flying west from Tinian would not take it to Japan ast that target was almost due north. There are many more errors regarding speed, ranks and times.
