From Library Journal
This informal combat history retells the story of fierce naval battles off Guadalcanal in which the wartime U.S. Navy came of age. Coombe, a Pacific War veteran, gives a good "sailor's-eye" perspective on the sea fights, from the battle of the Coral Sea to the end of the struggle in the Solomons. His simple narrative style recalls an uncle describing his wartime campaigns in unusual detail. The history and statistics are all here, and interpreted in the conventional manner, but something is missing: the author's personal experiences. For YA and general military collections. Previewed in "The Day of Infamy in Print," LJ 9/1/91.--Ed.
