Narative History at its finest

Great writing. Gripping history. Lots of detailed naval battle damage.

THE standard Naval history of WW2

I more I read of Naval history, the more I appreciate how enormously insightful Morison was. He spent the entire duration of the war aboard various ships, knew the participants personally in many cases, and captured the full scope and significance of events. A great writer besides. Marvelous stuff.
