Publisher's summary

Lives are changed forever in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor....

The year 1941: Andrew Troost, heir to generations of naval tradition, has just been made admiral, when reports fly in of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Troost's son, Warren, has followed in his footsteps and is one of the men fighting for his country on a PT boat in the Pacific.

In New York City, Tony Trapasso hears the call to action and gets ready to join the naval action. With him is Jacob Miller, a young man choosing to become a naval pilot instead of following the rabbinical calling of his Jewish forebears. They meet Glen Lascomb, a fresh-faced youth, raised on an Iowa farm, who is about to be catapulted into a sea of flaming oil in the Leyte Gulf....

This is their story - the saga of heroic Navy men caught in the raging crosscurrents of a war that thrust them together and tore them painfully apart....

Action and good characters

Just enough characters not to get lost in the story. The book was action packed and fun to read.

Outstanding

Keeps you awake and on the edge of your seat the whole time. Excellent narration of real events and real emotions. I wish it had been longer.

Had Potential

The writing about the war was good, but the interpersonal relationships between the characters, especially the men and the women, was just ridiculous.
