Don’t you uh, live in a place that saw intense fighting in 1942 and 44-45? You could just look out the window and imagine what the fighting between the US Army and IJA was like. It’s like living near the Queenston Heights and taking a vacation to Washington to imagine what fighting the Americans was like.

There's only a couple of sites in Manila where there's still tangible evidence that there was any fighting there, and even when I visited one in 2022, most of the accounts of the history focused on the fighting between Filipino revolutionaries and the Spaniards, rather than between the USA and the IJA. Go figure!

He was a correspondent with the British so you get interesting first hand insight into the psychological exhaustion of the perpetual back and forth, the atmosphere of Cairo behind the lines, wrangling with the censors, his wife and child, etc. E; i guess there's probably a lot of books titled 'Desert War" lol

The Three Battles of El Alamein by Mario Montanari is a translation of the Italian official history and is very interesting.

I've read a few books about it, but want something more audio visually stimulating. everything I could find is ether heavily tinted with a liberal bias or is from a reactionary monarchist perspective (what the hell) I also understand russian if that helps AFancyQuestionMark has issued a correction as of 23:12 on Apr 3, 2024 |
