As I mentioned in my review of this two volume set, there was no index, which is essential but now remedied. The other was citations, without knowing where or how many of the sources were obtained from we are left with the assertion that they are correct. Unfortunately this is not the best means of establishing historical references’. This leads us with the only option of verifying what has been collated. Over the years I provided Augie with lists of names and ranks and when possible specifics about the individuals, when I did this it was from primary source material (combat reports, personal journals etc…) these I am satisfied with but only so far as to their single sided accuracy for even in these cases they can have been entered incorrectly.
