I was surprised on how much I enjoyed listening to the story on Audible. I think that I might want to see if I can get the book and go through the story again. The summary was a nice touch at the end. It really made one remember that this was about real people. The dialogue was very interesting, but it made me wonder on how much of it could actually be recalled or made up to fit the story.
I kept recalling reading a paperback book many years ago “They were expendable : An American Torpedo Boat Squadron in the U.S. Retreat from the Philippines“, and thought about how they were related. I think I want to reread that book too, but it probably isn’t available. I believe they made a movie about that story.
