From the Pearl Harbor attack until a kamikaze knocked her out of the war in May, 1945, the USS Enterprise served in the vanguard of America's naval task forces. In this fine history, renowned military author Barrett Tillman describes the exploits of the "Big E" as she and her crew fought to bring the war to the Japanese.From the unfortunate loss of several of her aircraft to friendly fire by nervous gunners at Pearl Harbor to the shores of the Japanese homeland, the Enterprise served in every major naval battle of the Pacific War. The Big E's fliers struck the first retaliatory blows against the Marshall islands in early 1942. She sailed with the USS Hornet during the Tokyo raid. She helped send four Japanese carriers to the bottom at Midway. She held the line as the only American carrier in the Pacific during the Guadalcanal campaign. She participated in the assault on the Marianas, Gilberts, Marshalls, Philippines, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. She also served as the first American carrier specifically set up for night fighters and bombers. Despite being hit several times, the Japanese could never finish off the Enterprise. She would retire to refit, always returning stronger than before.Author Barrett Tillman tells the story of the USS Enterprise in a manner that truly befits this fine ship. Drawing on interviews from the last surviving veterans, Tillman paints a vivid picture of Americas most fightingest ship. Tillman includes portraits of all of the Big E's contemporaries; from her commanding officers to her heroic pilots down to the deck crew and even the mess hands. The Big E was truly a fighting ship throughout.I've read several books by Barrett Tillman, including "Whirlwind" and "Clash of the Carriers", and I've always enjoyed his unique ability to tell a sea story. That ability is in full view in "Enterprise". He adds personal accounts from the men of the Big E to his own personal narrative. The result is a very readable book that provides a fine story of the USS Enterprise. Highly recommended.
