Target Tokyo: Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That… von James M. Scott

All you can ask for in a book like this. Scott tells the story in a fairly evenhanded way although you are in no doubt as to who the bad guys and who the good guys were. The story is peppered with lots of very intimate details to bring the take to life and illicit empathy for the characters. Well written account of an amazing feat.

Rampage: MacArthur, Yamashita, and the Battle of… von James M. Scott

In Rampage, James Scott reminds us that the Holocaust was not the only atrocity of World War II. During the liberation of Manilla, the Japanese military displayed extreme barbarity towards the population: beheading or bayoneting men and boys who may become guerillas, gang-rape of teenage girls, mass burning of trapped people... It's almost too bad there wasn't a third atomic bomb.

Target Tokyo: Jimmy Doolittle and the Raid That… von James M. Scott

First off, I have to say it's a very good history of the Doolittle raid. Great place to start if you know nothing about the subject. I like how Scott includes what happened to the Chinese after the raid and found documents in Japan that actually described the damage done by the raiders. The sections covering Jimmy Doolittle himself are well done and extensively researched. The parts I didn't like: maybe because I just finished a very good WWII book that challenged some long held assumptions, there really wasn't anything new in Target Tokyo and that disappointed me. I wish Scott would have included a crew list for each plane as an appendix, along with the job of each individual, and more pictures (of the raid, the damages, the planes, the raiders - not just the same portraits of Halsey and King that we've seen a million times) would have been nice.… (mehr)
