There's something about these James Hornfischer books that grabs me. I don't know if it's his writing style as a whole, or the way he manages to bring all of the accounts to life in a cohesive narrative that doesn't seem dry at all. Whatever it is, I really have a hard time putting the books down while I'm reading them, and then I'll find myself going back to double check on a particular account here and there, when I find it haunting me.

I have every intention of doing this with Tin Can Sailors, but my BiL has my copy so when I get it back we'll do the book thing again. If you haven't read The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors I simply cannot recommend it enough.

In any event. I would like to karma a couple copies of Neptune's Inferno: The U.S. Navy at Guadalcanal by James D Hornfischer. One is my paperback that I've read a couple times now, and the other will ship to one of the winners directly from Amazon.

Two winners will be drawn.

Please be a member in good standing with 100 posts, and be willing to provide your shipping address through a valid email address. Smile That's it! I'll let this run for a couple days and draw winners.


Thanks!

Please don't enter me in the karma - I have this book already, as well as Hornfischer's "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors." Both are great reads.

Great book! My uncle was on the Atlanta! When he got ashore after the Atlanta was sunk the Marines gave him a rifle and bucket of grenades sent in the woods and said welcome to the Marines! Or so I was told.

In, please. I just finished Lundstrom's second First Team book so this would be a great next read.

Thanks!
