I couldn't put it down once I started reading, even though I knew the story and its ending. It all seemed new again as Dawson tells of deliberations in high places on both sides of the conflict and then takes you down on the battlegrounds to be with individual fighting men and civilians caught up in those savage and suspense-laden last days.... It's a book I will urge my friends to read." Major General Edward G. Lansdale, U.S.A.F. Ret.
