I've found his work to to have a lot of inaccuracies, often things that I would expect any historian of this era to catch as a matter of course. A lot of people like him, so YMMV, but I've given up on him completely. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Another good one to read is Charles McDonald (I may have the first name wrong) he was a company commander in WW II and has written a couple of very awesome books.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Ah, now you're talkin'. Company Commander is a real classic. Highly recommended. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
