Thumbs up First Impressions

Amazon came thorugh with bells on; my copy arrived today.

Unless I misread the description on the Amazon page, "Hell and High Water" ought not be described as a "pictorial history." There are good and useful photos right enough, but they are small. Words outnumber the photos, not making the net effect very "pictorial." But, aside from a large clanger on page 141 in which an M4A2E8 "roars across a field," the photos seem to belong here.

I am always glad to have primary sources, so I am happy to have these veterans' recollections and memories. I just wish that I did not have to use my magnifying glass to appreciate the details of the photographs.

In a nutshell, it's a keeper.

Bob
