5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book---still a classic reference, July 30, 1998

By	Doug ([e-mail]) (New Orleans) - See all my reviews

This volume 6 of Morison's series on U.S. Naval operations in the second world war continues the excellent tradition set in the first 5 volumes. While written shortly after the war, the data are still quite good. Extensive research was done on both U.S., German, and Japanese records, as well as interviews and on the spot accounts with many participants, something hard to do today! I've so far only read the first 6 volumes of this 15 volume history, but each one has been well worth it. Extensive battle maps are also a plus. If you enjoy WWII naval history, start collecting these volumes.
