 Submission to sci.military  (thanks in advance):
                                                        
  I'm interested in books on two military subjects:
                                                       
  What books can people recommend on the early days of
  the WWII in the Pacific?  I'm interested in the period 
  prior to Guadalcanal.   Emphasis on equipment and tactics.
  
  What are some good books on the Falkland Islands War?   I'm
  interested in books that stress the tactics and equipment
  that were in use there;  I'm not interested in the political
  or historical issues involved.  

 Thank you in advance.
                                         ---Peter


  PS-  Related to the first subject, here's something I've 
       always wondered about:  The Dutch had naval and land
       forces in the area around Indonesia at the time of 
       the Japanese invasion.  But Holland was occupied by
       the NAZIs at the time and the NAZIs were friendly
       with Japan.  What was the disposition of these Dutch
       forces?  With their home country occupied how were they
       supplied, equipped and even paid?  Who determined their 
       strategy and goals?
