Review
0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Tepid.By Michael E. FitzgeraldNot too good; not too bad; this work by Scott Rye focuses everywhere all at once and no where in particular. There are no unique insights and even less in the way of a story line. Rather; this book is a series of vignettes; 5 -15 page episodes; addressing particular ships and their commanders. All of the information contained within the work is handled much more masterfully by a plethora of other authors.
