A fantastic book, well-written in more of a cinematic style than I was expecting. Sometimes war history books can bog you down in details and language that can overwhelm if you're not used to it. This wasn't like that at all, with a strong narrative, a powerful visual style, and great historical details woven throughout. A very fun read.
