For those Kindle readers out there, Fleet at Flood Tide is on sale at Amazon for $2.99...at least for today.

I'm half way through the hard cover edition, really interesting and written in way to appeal to all readers. Has some interesting sidebars such as the development of the UDT/SEAL concept. It doesn't go into the mega details that a book on a single battle would do, however if does give you a feel for just what it did take on both sides to fight in the Pacific campaign during the second half of the war. Good read.

I read it last year. Decidedly 'meh' IMO.

Both were better works than "Flood Tide" IMO.
