The first 100-or-so pages are choppy, as he sets the stage for the Bataan Death March and imprisonment of allied soldiers left behind in the Philippines, but then it gains speed and becomes a riveting story.

The only book of his I didn't like was the one about Kit Carson. He is a Memphis boy to boot!
