Right now I am reading a book called the Angels of Battan. Which is about the nurses trapped in the Phillipines. A different perspective, a women's view. I may pick this up next because of that. It is true about history, some people see what they want to see, and write.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212119768302432216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-69753763159310887412011-06-29T20:17:01.131-04:002011-06-29T20:17:01.131-04:00Thanks for the great review -- I appreciate your c...Thanks for the great review -- I appreciate your comments about it, good and bad!Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-69638028395373190012011-06-29T15:34:35.960-04:002011-06-29T15:34:35.960-04:00Excellent points, Marie!

I've got about 90 minutes left of the audio, but already know I agree with your assessment.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-86453935092105425012011-06-29T14:43:31.122-04:002011-06-29T14:43:31.122-04:00Thanks for such an honest review.

Damn! Anyway, I'm really happy to see this review. I'd not heard of the negative aspects of the book, but I'm sure they would bother me. I have this book in print, but heard the audio was the way to go and I've been waiting FOREVER. Great heads up on the issues here.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-51427075612112248002011-06-29T10:32:25.945-04:002011-06-29T10:32:25.945-04:00I skipped a part of this review because I am plann...I skipped a part of this review because I am planning on reading this soon, but I am glad to have read your thoughts and I am glad that you mentioned some of your reservations instead of only seeking to praise, like so many others did. I am still looking forward to reading this one, but I think it will be with a much more critical eye after reading your review.

I think when people read "nonfiction" they sometimes don't remember that history is filtered through conceptual lenses, and that facts can be selectively presented.rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-37136263546634979842011-06-29T08:01:47.034-04:002011-06-29T08:01:47.034-04:00I've heard so many good things about this book...I've heard so many good things about this book, so I'm glad for your balanced review. I don't know as much about the Pacific theater as the war in Europe, so I find it interesting based on that alone.
