Deutermann<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/show\/5068600498\">4 of 5 stars<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was expecting a book crammed with naval combat action and I got all that. The two main navy men are academy graduates, one a bomber pilot, one a destroyer man. The writing is unabashedly gung ho with political correctness out the window. It&#8217;s written in the vernacular of the WWII navy, so if you&#8217;re shocked by the term Jap or upset by violence and gore in general, this isn&#8217;t a book for you. There are also two navy nurses as secondary, but important, characters. What I didn&#8217;t expect was the well done character development and love stories. Since it&#8217;s a WWII story, we know mostly how it comes out in the big picture, but the lives of the characters are uncertain throughout the book, just as they were in the war. The author managed to keep me in suspense throughout, and to pluck my emotional heartstrings rather surprisingly. I&#8217;d give it another half star if Goodreads would allow it. If you liked Clancy&#8217;s early works or the Hornblower series, you&#8217;ll enjoy this. The authenticity and detail are mind-blowing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/12975428-russell-atkinson\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pacific Glory by P.T.
