I was a little disapointed with the book. I was looking more of a story of the action of the 101st in the Battle of the Budge, not a pictorial of the current 101st. The photos are good, but not what I had in mind.

For a book touted as "true" and "the way it happened" this book is so full of errors I had to force myself to read the entire book. Page after page is filled with historical mistakes. Not unusual for a novel, but the author insists she has her facts straight. She doesn't. She just tells it like she wants to. She puts historical characters in places where they weren't time and time again, invents letters and diary entries, and continually twists history. Frankly, the truth is much more interesting.

This is one of the few SF novels I quit reading before reaching the end... when I reached page 200 or so and still nothing interesting or significant had happened, I said, "That's it."
