Outstanding. The author draws you into every aspect of the story right through to the epilogue which left me in tears.
A fascinating account of one of the greatest (and most unknown) tragedies of WWII. I was often reading, dumbfounded at the series of incompetent mistakes the US Navy made over and over. Definitely a must-read. Once I got to the part with the sharks, I simply couldn't put it down and had to read to the end. I cannot fathom how these men managed to survive. Loved it and am eager to read more about the South Pacific aspect of WWII.
