[Tom Tebo]

Should be required reading for anyone entering one of the US Military Academies. Heroes are not created by Authors but are forged out of the fires of hell and beyond.

[Bob Grove · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book is an excellent collection of stories that S.E. Smith edited. There are some fabulous first-person accounts of naval combat from sources present at the events and published not long after World War II.

[Jack Wagner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Highly recommended. 103 separate articles and excerpts from other books illustrate the actions of the United States Navy in WW2.

I read this book cover to cover during the summer between 4th & 5th grade. I've reread it since then and it holds up. It is a great collection of eye witness and accounts. No student/historian of the Second World War should be without this book.

I read it three times in junior high. Does that say more about the book, or about me?
