Reviews
On Sep 12 2017, a reader said:
This set, is the definitive apex of WW2 US Naval operations. I came across it at our public library when I was in Jr. high school in the late 50s'. It is definitely not casual reading, You must have a high degree of interest in the subject. I became so engrosed with this set, . (1 or 2 books checked out at a time),, that my other school studies, except for the riding herd by my mom, were almost set aside. You will not find a more detailed, blow by blow, objective telling of Naval operations.
I sure wish i had 450 bucks to spend, but a little to old now anyway.
