A Very Dark Look At Nuclear War

Revisado: 05-04-24

This is a pretty amazing book. After reading it you might have that aha moment people had in 1983 after watching the Day After.

What makes it very real may date it in the future as it is written in the current 2023-4 time frame listing known current events, political climate ect…

Annie Jacobson has become one of my favorite authors and I am now on her third book. Her presentation is very good as well.

Excellent Historical Piece

Revisado: 11-29-22

This is a well written piece on a man who has not been talked about much when it comes to his role in the battle of the pacific.

His understanding of radar and his ability to rationally think about the battle field is throughly explained in this book.

In-depth Look at Ship building

Revisado: 08-25-22

This book is an excellent look at building warships. It revolves around not only the mechanics and logistics of the process but the human factor. It goes off course for a bit when talking about building in the time of Covid with some very liberal leanings “referring to Trump and his henchmen” this part should have been left out as it’s really the only hard bias part injected by the author.

It’s very good look at the construction process and it’s human and Union perspective makes it a quality read.

The exciting history of the 1980s Navy

Revisado: 08-13-21

Today (2021) we still have hints of the late Cold War navy in service. The cruisers and destroyers, the sea wolf class submarines, the modern aircraft carrier fleet. Yet all of this would not have been if it were not for the Reagan build up. Years of over burden from Vietnam operations and failed policies of the Carter administration made the navy a shell of its once great self.

Regan, Lehman, and the Officers and enlisted of the 1980s changed everything. Not just equipment but policies, aggressiveness and morale. This book is an excellent source for an underserved era in Naval History. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent Ending to an amazing series

Revisado: 06-01-21

The content of the book is outstanding. I was alarmed at first on how this third installment could be longer the either of the first two, figuring it would be loaded down with excessive statistics. I was wrong the visual descriptions and attention to detail ensure that you are not dragged into a monotonous droning encyclopedia.

Performed and laid out well

Revisado: 07-14-17

This is a well written book that shifts between personal examples and travel to the Chernobyl area. It is a great look into the event from start to current status.

Brilliant stores of Atlantic Liners

Revisado: 05-20-17

A very detailed story of not just the ship and it's designer but a historical view on the challenges of ship building and operation in the United States, England, Germany and later Italy and others. The time frame spans from the early 1900s all the way through present date. As with all books read by Pete Larkin the presentation is excellent.

Excellent

Revisado: 04-03-17

This book is written extremely well and the performance of the reader is outstanding. It never toils in to much in history that is in many other books. It's explanations of the effects of race, corporate infighting, and the multinational statue of ford really gives insight to how corporate America struggled with the war.
