As usual these two authors provide a truly outstanding listening experience. Just as they have done in their other books they provide a vibrant description of a character whose life has been characterized more in tv than in historical fact.
Tremendous narrator providing insight that is compelling and interesting.
I buy every book written by Drury and Clavin

Many sailors and career naval officers like myself often questioned the lack of detail regarding the catastrophe that was this typhoon
This extraordinary book fills that historical gap
Well done and Bravo Zulu

Any narrator owes the listener enough research to properly pronounce places and terms central to the story.
Especially nautical terms are necessarily pronounced else they severely distract from the story. Naval terms are time honored but this narration destroys the story by poor preparation and lack of professional treatment of the story.
By books end the grating of his massive mistakes almost destroys the listen

Great book not only for the performance and story line but also the massive data explored. Tremendous research provides one of the best descriptions of the early cattle barons

Nothing kills a good listen quicker than a narrator who doesn't do his research. I hope no Japanese citizen listens to this book because they will cringe with frequent and repeated mispronunciation of Japanese cities cited in the book.
Since this is a Navy book, it would also help immensely if the narrator learned how to correctly pronounce basic Navy terms. Narration style also took a lot of getting "used to it".

Extraordinary examination of a critical WWII battle.
Superbly written and narrated, it examines experience almost too horrible to imagine yet too important to ignore

If you wish to enjoy a scary book, this fits the bill. If you’re looking to embrace your inner social dominance and virtue signaling about all things objectionable, real, or imagined, l suggest you leave this one alone.
Not every book is intended as a SJW platform. Some just try to scare the bejesus out of you.
Some make you think about hard decisions as you enjoy a literary “trip”. Try not to overlay your simmering liberalists demand for dominance in thought and deed. Just enjoy the book for what it is.

If the authors were trying to emulate Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion in raunch, they are supremely successful
Im not a prude but this books relies heavily on crudeness. Too heavily and the story drags otherwise.
