This is an excellent tool for research or even for more casual perusal... Make no mistake, this is an atlas, but it is an atlas of the military campaigns without peer. A great visual companion to those reading text-heavy accounts of the war.

Good ---- if you want a textbook for a course in military history. Not good ---- if you're looking for a good read or coffee table book.

When you open an atlas on the Pacific war and there are no references to the attack on Pearl Harbor, you know something is remiss. Be forewarned. The maps only show ground operations. There is no index or table of contents to locate a particular map. You could go through the entire manual and never guess that the Air Force or Navy ever participated in the Pacific theatre. The large sized maps appealed to me and I got suckered in by the 5 star review. This atlas is related to a West Point textbook and is a little use to a World War II buff. Shop elsewhere.
