I read this book as part of my research for my master thesis. It is a nice and easy read and probably well suited for someone who gets in contact with the topic for the first time. I especially liked the author's use of material from the National Archive, although his source material does not seem to go beyond material from American institutions. Therefore some mistakes have unfortunately crept into the work, which would have been avoidable through a wider use of sources, e.g. from German archives. Nevertheless, this is a book that is enjoyable to read. The author's main contribution on my opinion is that he re-introduces this topic to a new readership and therefore brings back this historical event into people's minds.
