America's Fighting Admirals, by William Tuohy pub 2007 9-780760-329B56. 363 pages with endnotes & photos.

I was expecting this book to provide some insight into workings of flag officers of the US Navy during the war period, maybe in the manner of The Germany Army, by Matthew Cooper or Churchills' Generals, by John Keegan, but so far what I have read is essentially a recitation of the Pacific war, with little factoids, etc thrown in. Maps are sparse to non-existent, necessitating the use of an additional mapbook.

The depth of information is lacking and would better be served as a study for the moderately knowledgable student of WWII. I am 125 pages into it and if my opinion changes, I will edit this post to reflect such.

I have found a couple of typographical errors, possibly due to typesetter's errors, as one one erroneous word was a homophone for another word which would fit in the sentence better.
