5.0 out of 5 stars The color commentary to the Seabees' official history, November 28, 1997
By sckaroly@seabeecook.com (Shingle Springs, CA) - See all my reviews
Huie, editor of the American Mercury and author of two books (Mud on the Stars and The Fight for Air Power) before joining the Seabees, presents the Seabee story, often in their own words. He introduced the concept of the "five roads to victory," so often seen in World War II Seabee writings. Appendices include lists of awards and casualties and an introduction to Seabee poetry. Like a skilled sports commentator, Huie provides color commentary to the official Navy account. The introduction is written by Admiral Ben Moreell.

4.0 out of 5 stars Huie Can DO!, June 5, 2000
By A Customer
As a son of a submariner from WWII, I grew up hearing all the navy stories and meeting the naval pals of my father. This garnered me a more than casual interest in things Naval regarding WWII. I also grew up with the John Wayne version of the Seabees. I like Huie's version better. Written during the war, it carries all the flavors of patriotism it was written to impart to the American public. I found it a "page turner" once I got past the first few preliminary chapters as he was setting the story line us. Well worth the money. I am looking forward to reading his sequel: From Omaha to Okinawa.

I was very disappointed when I gave this book as a gift and many of the photos were completely upside down.
