I hope you guys do this. I'm reading Neptune's Inferno on my Nook and the maps are nearly unreadable. Since I'm not as familiar with the PTO, referral maps would be great. I had the same problem with Dawn Like Thunder on my wife's Kindle.

Here is the operational plan for Operation Olympic - the invasion of Japan. I thought it would be useful to look at for conversations regarding the use of the Atomic Bomb.
