Good Book Made Unreadable

I enjoyed the Stackpole Series in traditional format and was excited when they finally became available on the Kindle. Unfortunately, the font used is very hard on the eyes and does not display well on my Kindle DX. In fact it causes so must eye strain I had to give up and did not complete the book.

Afrika Korps

It is a very well written book. Not only the history of the North African campaign was vividly conveyed, the book gives the readers a balanced view of the strategies, tactics, challenges, mistakes on both sides (Allies and the Axis). For those readers who are interested in the study of mobile warfare, this book contains detailed accounts of key battles in North Africa. The author successfully brings to life Rommel's command of element of surprise as well as his use of mobile units. I thought the author has a very good writing style and a good sense of humor. It makes the reading all the more enjoyable.
