The Line Upon the Wind explains events through a sustained narrative instead of presenting only a sequence of operations. It moves between the war's large stories and the experiences of individuals. Its cited sources are sound, though the references are less extensive than they could be. The combination of readable narrative and personal detail is useful, but the limited references still deserve attention.
