While it is apparent that Flemming is no longer author of the text, the 007 story continues with the Colonel Sun story. Very similar to the Flemming style, but not exact enough to fool everyone. I enjoyed this very much, having read it just after finishing all the Bond books, read in the right order.

Although lengthy this is an awesome story of the battle for the Philippines. Reading the words of those who were actually there removes this book from the "standard textbook history" but also makes the book a little 'choppy' in the storytelling. Well worth the four months that it took me to read it.

Although a little out of date, the message is clear and well supported. This ought to be a mandatory read for all educators.

The beginning chapters and end chapters provide a very good overview of history, culture, and influences without glossing over or over explaining to the point of boredom.
