This is a very readable book - great for someone who may just want to read one book on the subject as well as for World War II history buffs. The author very plainly and succintly leads up to the battle and then gives the reader points of view from the privates fighting the battle to the generals leading it. It is written in a very clear style and splits up the action so that loose ends are tied up before moving on to the next chapter in the book, making it easier to follow, rather than a true linear timeline with a blizzard of place names, names of people, and unit numbers from all over the island in the space of a few pages that can confuse the general reader.
