#5  Just finished 'The Fleet at Flood Tide', Hornfischer, 2016. Definitely recommend, and audio, Pete Larkin, is good.

#4  I recommend reading “Flyboys; A True Story of Courage “ by Bradley. It was written after the 50 year secrecy act expired. The history starts with Teddy R. and ends discussing PTSD of some of the survivors. Do you know that all American prisoners were being marched to an extermination camp when the war ended. We need to treat Iran the same way. IMHO

#3  Let us pause for a second and discuss the Imperial Japanese military facility at Harbin, Manchuria -- Unit 731. Their Biological Warfare site where they experimented on thousands of prisoners they referred to as 'logs' (!!).

#2  Let's not forget the Jap retreat from Manila and wholesale massacre of civilians there. The troops were cautioned not to waste ammo so there were lots of fires, not unlike their treatment of our POW's in the Phillipines.
