Reviews

"If one is only interested in the story of the U.S. Navy's ship-to-ship encounters during World War II, one will not find a finer book on the subject than this volume. The text is supported by a series of excellent maps, charts, tables, and photographs that clarify and illuminate the written story." --The Journal of America's Military Past
