5.0 out of 5 stars What A Book !, Mar 9 2001

By

Time's Arrow (Scotland, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sixth Battle (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a lost gem compared to any other in its genre,its descriptions of modern naval warfare put Clancy to shame.Its story line is similar to Larry Bonds "Cauldron" but places the emphasis on the action at sea but still carries the story of the land war very well. Why has he not written more books of this kind ?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of Modern Naval Warfare, Nov 26 1999

This review is from: The Sixth Battle (Mass Market Paperback)

The Sixth Battle describes a very technical detail of modern carrier war. I don't think all people can understand the true meaning of this book. But for naval warfare fans..this book is next to King James Bible. I always play the war in my head when I'm going to sleep. APG 71 Up.....Fox Three...Fox Three.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mental candy, Mar 23 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sixth Battle (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is by far, the best Naval book I've read, followed by Red Storm Rising. The level of technological content and tactics is well to the liking of readers of Tom Clancy or Dale Brown. It contains suspense, action, anything you could ask for. This would make a great movie...IF they follow the book.
