I thought this book was great. It is perfect for the armchair military wannabe and the author did a great job comparing fact to the fictional world of Star Wars.

This is a really fun book, but one which makes me ask who the audience is--people who already know military organization and analysis complain that science fiction doesn't follow "real world" conventions and people who read space opera for fun don't really care if the rank structure is flawed. Beahm straddles both worlds to explain how Jar Jar probably should not have been put in command of anything, and applies CGSC battle analysis to the Battle of Hoth, which makes for an amusing reframing of familiar scenarios for both camps.
