While learning a few interesting events about Native Americans serving during World War II. I was disappointed in this book. The narrative was simplistic and seemed to jump around. I would have preferred a more thorough examination of the Native Americans mentioned in the book than trying to include the generalized rehash of all the theaters of operations.
