Reviews
...relates a thrilling but harrowing chapter in the Pacific War and is able to bring events to life with consummate, startling ease., "... a day-by-day, blow-by-blow, retelling of the attacks on Okinawa in 1945. As a historian, this is one of the best, most researched books I have ever seen. The bibliography is extremely detailed, and the use of primary sources and evidence makes for a very "real to life" book.... Rielly has done some amazing research and painstaking time to tell this story...", "To any who want to learn more about the age of the Kamikaze at Okinawa, this book is to be desired. For the serious historian who wants a "blow by blow" coverage of the US defense against the Japanese airpower portion of the battle for Okinawa, it is a must. And for the casual reader...you'll gain insight even if you just peruse this book.", ...a masterpiece of research and dedication... classic study in how to write about a non mainstream military subject and still make it accessible to the military lay person., ...an engaging, well-documented, fast moving and previously untold history of 150 days and nights of continuous attacks on the picket boats. ..highly documented, extensive and well-written account of the picket line ordeal and the air action provided to combat the kamikazes., ...crisp, engrossing narrative...puts the reader right onto the blazing decks and into the cockpits of the attackers and defenders during one of the most hard-fought engagements of the entire war., The subject matter of this book by Robin L Rielly is actually very simple... however this is not a simple book at all, it is a master piece of research and dedication that makes it look simple., if you want to know anything about this topic... this is the book to read. Profusely illustrated with maps, photographs and drawings, the subject is covered as completely as possible..., ...brings a scholar's attention to detail to the task...extremely useful as a reference resource...will naturally appeal to naval officers and aviators, but its insights on how to combat terror warfare has relevancy for a much broader audience., ... an enlightening and captivating account of radar picket duty...a worthy resource for anyone interested in naval war tactics and battle strategies during this era of maritime history..., ...very detailed...a terrific book about a subject that has hitherto received scant coverage. To understand what thousands of sailors and airmen faced off the shores of Okinawa, this is a must read.
