Excellent series!
Monday, November 26, 2012
By: J. M. Reynolds
This review is for all books of this series. I have read all 15 volumes and use them on a regular basis for research. Bearing in mind that they were written immediately following World War II, some things were still classified at that time. Mr. Morison did an excellent job crafting the series from all available sources and made it readable for anyone with an interest. I highly recommend this series for anyone with an interest in the Navy as well as other services during the war.
