I downloaded this book after reading a favorable NY Times review, and generally liked it. The problem was that it really didn't tell the story of the individual inventions as much as it identified five areas of the war where things were improved as time went on. It identifies the improvements, but not really the people who made them.
Not that that's a bad thing, but the book spent a lot of time scolding the reader about what it was not about, and after a while I got a little exasperated trying to figure out what it was about.
