Book Reviews of Retribution: The Battle for Japan, 1944-45

Book Review: A Terrific Book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best books I've ever read about the Pacific War. It is extremely well-written. In addition, it provides unique insights into the nature of MacArthur's command, as well as the roles of the British in Burma and the Russians in Manchuria. Another interesting aspect of Hastings' book is the stress he places on Japanese sources.
In sum, this is a terrific book.
