Summary: Missing Information on Borneo Invasion
Comment: I was a member UDT Team 11 and participated in the invasion at Brunei Bay and Balikapapan. No mention was made of our work prior to the invasion in the book. There were 3 rows of pile driven posts on the beaches that were to be used for the assult troops. There were also many mines that had to be destroyed. We took care of both of these obstacles and brought back information regarding water depths and beach exits. Without this information no successful landings could have been accomplished. I personally helped brief General MacArthur as to the best possible landing sites.

Summary: Review of OPERATION BORNEO
Comment: OPERATION BORNEO, by Gerard R. Case and James A. Pounds, is an incredible archive of one of the final chapters of World War II. Filled with countless pictures, the account of the missions in the South Pacific places the reader back in time. Mr. Case's eye for detail (also demonstrated in his now paleontological required reading 'A Pictorial Guide for Fossils) provides an abundance of small touches that conveys an eerie sense of the time. By going through the book and seeing the maps, the portraits, the diagrams, the tributes and the accounts, one feels they understand the times.

There are many pictures of servicemen in uniform and also at relative leisure. There are small asides, usually a page long, where Mr. Case and Mr. Pounds reveal their compassion towards the men who served, such as dedications to fallen soldiers. These slightly personal slants, rather than detract from the account, seem to humanize the story of the Pacific conflict.

World War Two aficionados have another excellent book to add to their library, and general readers have, with OPERATION BORNEO, an outstanding wealth of archival glory to dive into.
