We often see war movies that potray it from our perspective; it would be enlightening to see the other perspective.

There is a book called

Tennozan: The Battle of Okinawa and the Atomic Bomb that not only shows the battle from the perspective of the Americans and Japanese soldiers, but also from the perspective of the native Okinawans. One of the best books I've ever read.
