Flyboys: A True Story of Courage

It is a fascinating read. In the first several chapters, Bradley gives a brief history of why Japan was/is so hateful towards the west--the US, in particular. However, I do have a few gripes:
1. The vivid description of brutality--ch. 5 can be skipped without miss much, just vivid descriptions of the Japanese brutality.
2. The occasional profanity
3. The Accounts are not from a Biblical/providential view of history
