A surprise ending will likely astonish his loyal followers..." —Thomas J. Cutler, The Gordon England Chair of Professional Naval Literature, U.S. Naval Institute
"I am more than impressed...John Gobbell knows what he writes about. This was one of the most difficult books to put down that I have read in recent years. So many great characters, each brought to life, whether real or fictional...whose recorded actions blend in with the fictional lives in the heat and humidity of the South Pacific during the largest and most intense naval war in history." —Terry Miller, Former Executive Director, Tin Can Sailors: National Association of Destroyer Veterans
