The tone of the book is educational and entertaining. The approach is decidedly objective. The author is very effective in helping the reader to maintain one's focus by leaving out all irrelevant information. In this case, nothing of the personalities is revealed except or unless it shows through their generalship. No political bias of the author's is exposed. Only the intentions and methods used are expressed. This is excellent and absorbing for those interested in the military strategy, but would be discouraging at best for those who might like to know about the personal lives of any of the generals discussed in the book, or who feel passionate and sensitive about the politics of any of the military forces referred to in the book.
