This new, PC world-building is done without nuance, taste, or elegance, shoving activism into the faces of people who just want an escapist fantasy

The author bumped up the rhetoric, but not by much. The leaders in the book no longer pretend the dog whistles they publish are a joke, or a misunderstanding

This is an unusual book, mixing gore and philosophy that can become complicated, if not convoluted. It’s an interesting novel though

Like other Jeff Shaara books, this one also presents historical events from different points of view. And like his other books, this one is also well-researched

The plot might be overstuffed, but I enjoyed the new characters. Moneypenny is COO of the 00 division is one of the aspects of the book that I liked the most

Killin’ Generals: The Making of the Dirty Dozen, the Most Iconic WW II Movie of All Time takes a look at the The Dirty Dozen, from the book to the big screen

I enjoyed reading about Captain Kaspar’s inexperience and naiveite, coming into an occupied land still crawling with Nazis, and their victims

The book is peppered with GI slang and phrases in French and German which I liked, the writing is engrossing and very good for a first time author

The book follows the battle of Okinawa through the eyes of the grunts on the ground and the commanders of both the American and Japanese forces

After the Normandy invasion. Told through the eyes of Eisenhower, Patton, private Eddie Benson as well as Germans Gerd von Rundstedt and Albert Speer.
