Description
A solid history of the men, machines, terrain, and fighting from mid-Dec. 1944 to mid-Jan. 1945. Parker knows the conflict and describes it well. Poor photos (some are excusable snapshots), amateurish pre-press work (paste-up), and, apparently, no text editing (or even a reading over by the author). His names and numbers are better than his grammar. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
