I read Roscoe's book cover to cover about three days back in the Silent Service days (I believe the books title was 'Pig Boats' in that particular edition). Sadly, I've since lost it.
Fantastic book, very vivid and detailed accounts for every engagement of note. Has that nice pre-political correctedness feel to the prose as well.
Probably this book more than any other single factor fired up my passion for the US sub war in the pacific.
