Reviews

"[Volume 13 of] Admiral Morison's chronicle is crammed with incident and is one of the best in his remarkable series."--Chicago Sunday Tribune "As this multi-volume history approaches its end, admiration increases for the skill with which a very complex story has been presented. Certainly it is the best-written operational history, naval or military, known to this reviewer."--Library Journal
