I am halfway through the book and have found several inaccuracies but these are not really significant. The real point is that the author tells the story through a sort of condescending "Monday Morning Quarterback" style. This was a citizen army rushing into it's first ever major league conflict. The author seems to sort of have a joke about the shortcomings of the allies. I wouldn't read this as a first learning of the conflict. It's OK if you are quite familiar with what actually happened already. It is a kind of story composed of anecdotal pieces, interesting, but does not really combine to give the whole story. I feel that the author tried to make the work more interesting and entertaining rather getting to
the heart of the matter. I admit that I am only half way through the book but that is increasingly my impression.
