Summary: A revelation
Comment: Having served 4 years in the states and including 2 years in Italy I found this a very interesting and revealing view of what the war was like in the Pacific theater. Of course, this was the experience of one person, but what a tale it is.
It is necessary reading. I heartly recommend it.

Summary: Fascinating Inside Story of the Pacific War
Comment: This is a terrific book for people who lived through the war and for those who are too young to remember it. It's not violent, or horrific, but it gives a real flavor of what it was like to be an ordinary young grad student from Missouri who, by various twists and turns, ended up flying the very first flag over Japan at the end of World War II. Miller is a plain-speaking but deeply thoughtful writer, and he relies on his diary entries and letters to paint the scene and the ordinary people he worked with and give the reader a real sense of having been there too.
