I also do recognize the fact that Stoellinger has experienced World War II, and therefore is a very good person to be able to review war. This is a scholarly bit of work, and there is a wealth of detail in the book. The analysis, in my view, is very good. However, hindsight is a great thing, and when I read the book, I wonder at human stupidity and greed. Could so much war and destruction have been avoided if people had acted with some wisdom and with some common sense. But, war can be a macho act, and people love to go to war for dubious reasons.
This is an excellent bit of work, with nary a word out of place. ( )
