Glad I read this book. It was entertaining and well-written, and undoubtedly took a lot of research. For me, it filled in empty spaces in my knowledge of the Pacific war, specifically the role of the Destroyer. I did not appreciate how much work these sailors put in, nor how much damage a destroyer could do in the right circumstances. The destroyer O'Bannon is a great story, going from Guadalcanal to Tokyo Bay without a casualty.

Well done, Mr Wukovits!

3.5 stars. Could use some editing to ratchet up the tension.

I am always going to read non-fiction about plane crashes, especially when they involve celebrities, as Eddie Rickenbacker was in his day. It was an interesting story but somewhat repetitive in places.

Great account of the Wake Island fight which was hopeless but gave hope to the people back home at a dark time in early World War II just after Pearl Harbor.
