Title: a history by a man who was there
Review: I actually liked this book better than O'Kane's first-person account, Clear the Bridge! Before he skippered Tang, O'Kane served as exec aboard Wahoo. Using American and Japanese records, he was able to do a magnificent job of recreating Wahoo's final patrol, which resulted in the loss of the sub and all hands aboard. Readers who enjoy this solid bit of historical re-creation ought also to buy Clear the Bridge!, which details O'Kane's patrols and loss of Tang, and his imprisonment at Omori camp along with Pappy Boyington of VMF-241. (Like Boyington, he won the Medal of Honor for his war service.)
