" To the author's credit, the subject he attempted to cover in the short amount of pages was a challenging task, and one I believe he did as best as he could with. However, just as a preference, I think that the book sagged a little in the middle and became muddled with new places and characters so much that it became hard to keep track of them. The beginning and ending were nice touches, but overall I stand by 3 stars. I'm sure his much larger work on the topic, The Crucible of War, would remedy some of the issues I found with this book. "
