Unfortunately someone has stabbed it with a knife 4 times going about half through the book. Volume 5 - The struggle for Guadalcanal August 1942 - February 1943 Volume 7 - Aleutians, Gilberts and Marshal June 1942 - April 1944 Volume 8 - New Guinea and the Marianas Volume 12 - Leyte June 1944 - January 1945 In my opinion this was an incredable find.
