A Great Book; but it shattered my childhood memories of the Disney Movie or Buster Keaton's "The General"By RickThis raid was exactly what I think the Raid series was meant to cover. The story is clear succinct and keeps you turning the pages. I have driven through the area where the Chase took place on many occasions and have always wanted to stop to visit; but my kids were more set on getting to Florida. This book has just made me determined to stop despite the screams and howls of misfortune.
