This is part one of a trilogy. Star ratings will increase. Toll covers Pearl Harbor to Midway. In this he covers what is seen in the 2019 film (Aside: that's very good) . There is maps. pictures and the a notes section. The critique : it is the first part and it leaves you wanting more. AND I WILL read parts 2 and 3.
