Good Starter or Refresher but MANY errors
|
I finished this textbook-like book recently although at several points I almost put it down due to the continual errors that I attribute to both the author and the editor. As others have mentioned, there are simply too many silly errors-- such as the refloating of the first 'Lexington' in late 1943, the reappearance of the 'Shoho' long after it was sunk, or the Hellcat divebomber (F6F Hellcats could divebomb but the plane was designated a 'fighter'). Some of these errors were so egregious that I laughed out loud. Every several pages there was a goof regarding a name, place, or equipment.
But, despite this frustrating problem, the book is a worthwhile read on the basics of the war in the Pacific during World War II.
Coming in at over 700 pages the author does a good job of covering the major events and also throws in a good number of interesting details and quotes. |
