A bit repetitive in spots, but that doesn’t take away from the amazing story, heroism and patriotism of all who were directly involved. Its hard to say exactly what went wrong here or whether this was simply an act of God leading to proud moments for those serving and the US Navy.

This book opened my eyes to what men went through in the Pacific. It is easy to read and I could not put it down. A well researched, fast paced, nerve racking read. It left me sad and proud.
