Theodore Taylor took persistent advantage of his access to both people who served with Mitscher and classified records. His sources are well documented. Taylor was in a position to iterate with primary sources on who, what, when, why and how. His descriptions and fast moving narrative convey tempo and setting of how Mitscher operated and led during WW2. The book made me feel like an observer as Mitscher pioneered and invented U.S. Naval carrier taskforce doctrine as he anticipated and dealt with formidable Japanese forces. I suspect Mitscher would have appreciated how Taylor matter-of-factly conveyed Mitscher's inherent bravery and combative nature. As a result of serving on Mitscher's staff, my father developed a profound respect for his character and leadership. After studying the anecdotes and personal stories, I more fully understand why Admiral Mitscher is held in such high esteem by those who served in his commands."; 6 X 1.5 X 8.75 inches; 364 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
