A tale of incredible bravery and survival. A must read for aficionados of naval history, WW II history, and first class writing. The story of the USS Houston and the brave men who manned her will move you. They faced incredible odds, and did their best to slow down a vastly larger Japanese Fleet, and then had to survive the hell of captivity. A great book...
