I find Tuchman's book to be mediocre to submediocre --- one would be much better served in reading about the similar period covered by Swiss historian, Johann Huizanga. Although I enjoyed Tuchman's "Stillwell and the American Experience in China" - - it was really Stilwell's diary excerpts which were most illuminating and entertaining, Tuchman really had nothing much to offer. No rating, I'm afraid.
