Adm. Evan thomas gives us four opposing leaders in the pacific war. Thomas delivers another excellent naval history.

Sea of thunder by evan thomas published by simon & shuster 2006 414 pps. Thomas is able to show the humanity, and inhumanity of war. He makes it a little more comprehensible.

Cons

The last stand of the tin can sailors is little more than a compilation of notes scarcely held together with some biographical threads. There are many other accounts of these events that are more accurate, engaging, and literate.

Thomas makes no mention of the fact that the source of this information, general sutherland, was a macarthur sycophant and a questionable source. The flyers on the japanese carriers were substandard.
