Sink ‘Em All

Submarine Warfare in the Pacific

De: Charles A. Lockwood

Narrado por: Eric Jason Martin

Sink 'Em All was originally published in 1951 by Vice Admiral Charles A. Lockwood, the US Navy commander of the Pacific submarine fleet during World War II.

Lockwood, in his leadership role, knew the skippers and crews of the submarines and retells their wartime successes and tragedies with an intimacy and realism often missing in second-hand accounts. Lockwood also recounts his efforts to improve the provisions and after-patrol accommodations of the submariners and of his on-going struggle to improve the effectiveness of torpedoes and other tools vital to the war effort.

This book sheds light on the everyday men and women you heroically stepped up in a time of need. The imprint of war is never forgotten.

A history buff’s delight

This book is for, primarily, die hard US Navy Pacific Theater history buffs. Chocked full of detail with a rather dead pan, “just the facts ma’am” delivery, it is really, really good. The bravery of the men involved is articulated, to be sure with some prejudice, in such a fashion as to bring forth a tear now and then. I confess, I loved the book.

I have enjoyed listening to this book and I believe that you will enjoy it too

illuminating

the technical details of science and sailors in solving problems was revealed. This was particularly true regarding the torpedo problems that made submarines much less effective. Admiral Lockwood was central in solving this. There is fair amount of tongue in cheek humor here as well.
