"[An] exciting history. . . . Here again are the heroics of the carrier "Hornet" and her sister ship "Enterprise"; the fantastic gallery of blood-and-guts heroes; and the tragic power struggle between the Marines and Navy. . . . I know of no one who writes better of the peculiarly vicious warfare that took place on the Pacific islands. Leckie puts you in the foxhole and with a few words makes you see the terror of hand-to-hand fighting".--John Toland, "The New York Times Book Review"
