I have not read this book---I read his follow-on, "Flyboys," (no relation to the WW I airplane movie out now). It was disappointing: he seems to raise a moral equivalence between us and the Japanese. Yes, Bradley deals with their atrocities, but goes out of his way to cite our atrocities, too. We had some, no doubt, but they were the exception, not the rule. The Japanese made it a PRACTICE of raping every woman they came across, and in China, then of killing them and EATING them. There is absolutely no comparable practices in the U.S. military, ever, even in the west where most cavalary units did not practice scalping or "Sand Creek" type operations.
Hmm... perhaps that would explain why it seems to be a favorite on the SF<->Tokyo flights I've been on recently...
