The book is good - I found his Leyte Gulf book in New York in January, & his evaluation of Halsey, Mitscher, Oldendorf & Kincaid & the situation Ozawa was put in was impressive. His Pacific War book has been criticised because he ignores the RN, but they didn't feature in any of the carrier battles.

I paid tribute to the remarkable life and legacy of an American hero, Ernest “Ernie” William Mease. A proud Navy veteran, Ernie served with distinction during WWII, including at the Battle of Leyte Gulf. For his bravery, he was decorated with the Philippine Liberation Medal.
