Reading progress update: I've read 450 out of 920 pages.
I wasn't able to finish this in time to return it to my office, but I'm still skimming the parts that are less interesting. This kicked in with the chapters on the invasion of Luzon, which seemed to degenerate into endless descriptions of which planes dropped what types of bombs on Japanese troops. I have no doubt as to its utility, but it's not detail that I'm terribly interested in right now.
