Title: Great Insight into WW II
Product review: I purchased this audio book for my father who served on a small patrol craft in the South Pacific during WW II. He was in Leyte Gulf and was a few days behind the ships that experienced this typhoon. He still recalls seeing the flight deck of the Wasp smashed up by a typhoon. He found the book very insightful and found out a lot of information about plans and tactics that he did not know before.Since I'm a history buff, he passed it along to me. I looked at the 9 CDs and wondered when i would ever have time to listen to them, but once I got started I'm HOOKED!Once you get past the first few perfunctory background chapters, the story is very well told. I encourage anyone who served in the US Navy in the South Pacific to buy this book. Or better yet, if your father served in that theater, buy it for him! It's a GREAT gift, especially if you can surprise him with it.
