Thanks for the link. I read it all.
What I like about Parshall and Tully is that they can provide such a detailed technical analysis based on the historical record, and also convey the sense of tragedy in human terms.
One of the other contributors to their website, Craig Burke, was someone I corresponded with when I was on The History Channel website. He was a great guy with a lot of knowledge about the Pacific War, but he lost a battle to prostate cancer last year.
By the way, one of the other contributors to the THC website, Pete Paradis, found about 5 volumes of the official U.S. Army History at a bookstore closing, and even though he lived on the other side of the country he was kind enough to ship them to me. That’s where I got the U.S. Army maps I posted last night.
