On the first Sunday in December 1941, an armada of Japanese warplanes appeared suddenly over Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and devastated the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Six months later, in a sea fight north of the tiny atoll of Midway, four Japanese aircraft carriers were sent into the abyss. Pacific Crucible tells the epic tale of these first searing months of the Pacific war, when the U.S. Navy shook off the worst defeat in American military history and seized the strategic initiative.

Details make all the difference

The author Toll’s trilogy of the Pacific war is the best I’ve read. Independently, the narrator voice gives gravitas I haven’t found elsewhere. I love this series.

Project Gemini is a neglected part of the US space program. Sandwiched between the excitement of Project Mercury and the sending of the first American astronauts to space and the euphoria of the Apollo Moon landings, Gemini was a step forward rather than a dramatic leap. However, this project achieved many important firsts, including the first spacewalk, the first rendezvous and docking between two spacecraft, the first flights of more than one week’s duration, and many more.

Disappointing
Revisado: 12-20-23
Besides being brief and with little direct quotes from astronaut and others closely working on the project, I was put off from the the mispronunciation of names of people involved. When I heard Wally Schirr’s name mispronounced twice, that immediately threw into doubt accuracy of other parts of the book.
