I decided early on not to go with footnotes and citations. These often are
abused and, worst of all, very few readers use (I checked...)

The pro's can dig up cites themselves, writing these books don't pay enough
(nor is the publisher lavish enough with pages) to make room for a lot of
footnotes.

We provide a reading list so the truly enterprising can strike out on their
own and meet the primary sources (such as they are) up close and personal
through their own efforts.

That said, we are doing a War in the Pacific Encyclopedia for Facts on File
that will have all the citations. Just for the hell of it.
