This was a long one. Wow! And it took even longer because I actually read the entire thing. (No cheating with Audible. Ha!)

It was a good book, but after 1,132 pages he wrapped it up really fast. It was like the publisher was ok with 1,100 pages but would not go to 1,200. Another 100 pages and the story could have been finished in the same vein as the rest of the book.

Oh well, I still recommend. Especially, if you are interested in Japanese history and the animosity that culminated in WWII.
