In this era, in which little arable land is likely to open up, Collingham's work is relevant for the future as well for historical study. Highly recommended for all who study World War II history, as well as those specializing in the study of food production and food security. [See Prepub Alert, 9/29/11.]
This is a well-written and very readable work that will interest those looking for more depth in their understanding of the military history of World War II. Recommended for readers with knowledge of World War II or an interest in military history.
While the Revolutionary War scholar will find little new here, Tonsetic's writing style and detailed description will make this a good choice for those with a general knowledge of this period seeking a greater understanding of the war's sudden conclusion. Recommended for adult and teen military history lovers.
For those unfamiliar with the battle, this may not provide sufficient overall context, but for readers who know the battle history, and those—teens and adults alike—who enjoy works such as Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, it is recommended.
