Did you get that Barbara Tuchman book on Gen Stillwell yet?

I did, indeed. It looks like a good one. I am almost through The Rising Sun, by John Toland. Then I will start the Stilwell book.

IMO, I think you’ll reference the Tuchman book repeatedly. It covers a wide sweep of time that was very ‘content rich’ on a number of levels.

One read for setting the scene...review for various incidents...review for various actors...reviews for political scene at the time...review for looking at scenarios set from actions at the time...review for actors family and their influence later...you get the idea.
