From a Disappointed Reader,
By
This review is from: Slide Rules and Submarines: American Scientists and Subsurface Warfare in World War II (Paperback)
This book has three unrecoverable defects:[1] Extremely poor quality topography. Unreadable type in many places, espercially toward the bottom of the page and horrendously poor scanned photos -- better with none than these atrocities, [2] A superficial commentary on Naval brass during WW2. Other than a closed and obdurate mind, no mention of Admiral King's significant personal failings with the bottle and ladies . . insufficent attention to the triumphs of VADM Charles Lockwood such has conclusively proving the defects of American torpedoes used by WW2 submarines for some three years and the use of science/technology to defeat mine fields and Admiral Doenitz's forray into politics to the point of becoming Hitler's legal successor and doing a ten-year hitch in Spandu prison. [3] An outrageous price for such a poor, flawed product. Stay away from this tukey! |
