Review of 'Early U. S. Navy Carrier Raids, February-April 1942' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It is nice to have much of the information on the US Navy early carrier raids in one little book. But it is written in a rather dry and factual manner. Do not expect it to be on par with the works of Samuel Eliot Morison, Richard B. Frank or Ian W. Toll.

BTW, I have seen that the author is about to release what seems to be a new version of this book: "The War Begins. The Navy's Early Carrier Raids February-May 1942" (ISBN-13: 978-1612515281). I don't know what the differences will be between the new one and the one reviewed here.
