The Last Big-Gun Naval Battle: The Battle of Surigao Strait

Rating:
Summary: Worth more then just one read
Review: I've read this book from front to back numerous times and each time I pick more and more visual out of its pages. Howard spent a great deal of time gathering and putting all of this together. Thank you Howard for your effort!

Summary: title a misnomer
Review: This is a great look inside the workings of a "big gun" battleship during World War II. While only one chapter is dedicated to the Battle of Surigao Strait, Howard Sauer speaks from his experience as an officer in the gunnery department. He includes a map of the action, with postitions of combatants noted, in addition to firing tracks. His detailed look at life aboard the USS Maryland is helped with pictures, diagrams, and maps. The book is a valuable resource for anyone wanting to know about life aboard a battleship during war. Another feature of this book is the directory of all United States battleships.
