Customer Reviews
Deadly dull I'm afraid - Rated I had been looking for a book dedicated to these battles for 20 years and was overjoyed when I found out that Osprey were to cover them as part of their Campaign series. Obviously, the author Gordon L Rottman had been commissioned by Osprey to write accounts of all the US Marine Corp operations in the central pacific in WW2. I think this was the last one to appear and does mean that Osprey's series is the most complete account you will now find. However, it is regrettable to report that Mr Rottmans text is some of the most turgid writing I've read. Most of the accounts of the battles are lists of unit names, numbers,times and dates, one after another after another. Yawn. What saves the book for a single star is some good colour illustrations (for once) and the fact that the subject matter is so overlooked. The book could have redeemed its self with another star if the maps had been upto scratch. In the Osprey Tarawa book in the same series there are some great maps of the Japanese defensive positions. Here was an opportunity missed. In summary this is one for collectors only.
