Kinkaid of the Seventh Fleet: A Biography of Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, U.S. Navy

Rating:
Summary: Expected much more
Review: ADM Kinkaid was one of the founders of the modern naval organization in the Pacific Theater, but Mr. Wheeler seems just to have strung facts together with a mild attempt at developing a true history. For instance, there is a noticable lack of detailing ADM Kinkaid's experiences as a young Battleship Gunnery Officer into the Commander of the Seventhflt, which depended on a new weapon of war, the aircraft carrier. Additionally, I felt much of the military techno-speak was handle in such a manner that many civilians would not understand and most naval officers would quickly see that Mr. Wheeler often did not understand the words he was quoting.
