Tameichi Hara's Japanese Destroyer Captain, while noticeably self-serving, is a fascinating look at the other side of some of the big battles of the war.

It is a great book. It's so interesting to see the perspective of somebody absolutely convinced that they are winning and he's serving in the baddest-rear end navy on earth, and slowly realizing that these Americans might know what they are doing and that we might be, uh oh now we definitely are, losing.

Marks also has Island of Fire about a factory battle in Stalingrad. Both showcase the utter primeval hopelessness of urban combat. Both books are based on first person accounts.

$43 on Kindle???? It's an ebook! Come on!
