Reviews for Okinawa 1945
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good,albeit too short, campaign introduction for a very long and bloody conflict. Excellent choice of photos, many of which will be new to the average WWII armchair historian. Concentrates more on the land battle and the USN efforts to combat the kamikaze onslaught are sadly not well-covered.A very useful book but one that inadvertently illustrates the limitations of Osprey's Campaign series format.
