This book is well written and easy to read. The information is more detailed than any I've found so far. I bought it because I'm trying to find out about the combat situations my father may have been in. This book and the others in this series are a goldmine of information. It answered many questions I had and gave me leads on more research. It is worth every penny and more. The author is to be respected highly.
