Destroyer Squadron 23: Combat Exploits of Arleigh Burke's Gallant Force (Bluejacket Books)

Rating:
Summary: I am disappointed that the book turned out to be fiction.
Review: The Author does comment in the his preface what Bull Halsey does not note his forward that the book is fictionalized non-fiction. I am probably not being fair to the author but I just don't enjoy reading accounts where you continuosly wonder whether or not the events are real. I did not finish the first chapter.

Summary: Good Book!
Review: This book covers that part of admiral Burke's carreer when he served in destroyers in a fairly interesting fashion. The author spends a lot of time developing the characters of Burke's destroyer captains, and the descriptions of the actions are somewhat overblown. Otherwise, an ok read.
