Flyboys, by James Bradley. Gives the indepth story of a few airmen shot down in the war for the pacific, while giving a good overview of the war with Japan. I think it should be manditory reading to graduate high school.

some out the big themes: Japan was brutal. The USA was not as brutal, but we are no saints. More men were killed by samurai swords in WWII than atom bombs.

Great read, and your right, it should be on a mandatory list for any school. War is hell but those Japanese were butchers!
