'This latest volume in the Images of War series shows a graphic depiction of what the fall of Corregidor and the much later recapture of the “Gibraltar of the East” was like. The selection of the photographs backed up with the well researched captions is commendable. It is not so much an analysis of the battle but more a photographic chronicle of what happened and the aftermath. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the battles for Corregidor, Pacific airborne operations, and anyone with a desire to see what it was like to fight for such a small island that proved to be a thorn in the side of the Japanese military thrust across the Pacific'.

This is a great book for reenactors looking to portray airborne servicemen and will provide the ability to help them portray specific campaigns during WW2. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking at learning about the parachute regiment and airborne forces evolution in World War 2.

The book is so extensively referenced via various histories, and primary sources. At the back is an excellent glossary of terms, useful for both the novice and someone more adept with military terms. Alongside this is a timeline which brings out the whole story of via a chronology leading up to war. Overall this is a must have, fantastic account of the invasion of Norway, taking in comprehensive relevant angles.
