520    "James Hallas reconstructs the full panorama of the Battle
       of Saipan in a way that no recent chronicler has done. In 
       its comprehensiveness, attention to detail, scope of 
       research, and ultimate focus on the men who fought and won
       the battle, this is the definitive military history of 
       Saipan, a turning point of the Pacific War."--|cProvided
