This review is from: The Official Chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II (Hardcover)

I paid full price for this book at the 65th Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack and I felt as though I got a deal. At the new price it's a steal. If you have any interest in the U.S. Navy during World War II you need this book in your collection. What makes this chronology exceptional is that Cressman doesn't miss a day. He doesn't just hit the highlights, he has an entry for every day of the war. It makes you realize that World War II wasn't just the famous battles it was years of history in the making.
