Helpful Score: 1
This book is full of good material, but I found it very difficult reading.
Much of that probably has to do with me and the complexity of my life while I read it, but there was one issue that I lay at the feet of the author: I had a very difficult time telling *when* things were going on. I couldn't keep it ordered in my head as a result of the presentation, and thus couldn't figure out how events went together.
The individual stories were excellent - many were moving - but trying to tie it all together into a history of the war just didn't work for me.
Hopefully others will have less trouble. I think it's an important book full of good information.
