Yes, I thought so too. Though I know I'm going a bit off topic here, I just can't say enough about that book for anyone who truly is interested in WWII Pacific History. I've read so many books on the PTO, some, too many years ago to recall their titles. Out of all those books, the top three that stick out in my mind as being the most intriguing are:
Shattered Sword: The Untold Story of the Battle of Midway
-
Jonathan Parshall and Anthony Tully
Japanese Destroyer Captain
-
Tameichi Hara
The Eagle And The Rising Sun: The Japanese-American War, 1941-1943
-
Alan Schom
I also have to add an honorable mention to an older, but no less interesting book titled:
The Tenth Fleet: (The true story of the U.S. Navy's "phantom" fleet battling U-Boats during World War II)
-Ladislas Farago (Author of Patton)
My apologies for going off topic, but these books (IMHO) are must read titles for the PTO or U-Boat enthusiasts.
