This is one of the standard works of WWII English Language popularizations. ( ) A good account of the first surface encounter off Guadalcanal. I think the Frank book has probably surpassed this one for depth and breadth, however, this is still a well done book. It is very readable and laid out in a manner that makes it understandable. The scope of the disaster is chilling, it could have led to the loss of Guadalcanal entirely had the Japanese demonstrated better cooperation between services. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
From the author of the bestselling Abandon Ship! comes a classic work of World War II history. Richard F. Newcomb is one of the true masters of military storytelling. The Battle of Savo Island is the story of the opening engagement of the Solomon Islands campaign, a unique chapter in naval history. It was the first surface encounter for a coordinated American force in nearly half a century and a very bad start. Courage and will were never lacking, but the Imperial Japanese Navy was about to hand the U.S. Navy the bitterest defeat in its history. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
