## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good but not great
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2008*

I bought this book on the basis of the two positive reviews and must say that I was disappointed.The authors clearly had access to a large body of research and background information.  It is doubly frustrating then that they seemed to be determined to withhold so much of it.  We get tantalising excerpts but the opportunity to provide a "comprehensive view" (as per the editorial review) is missed.For example, the authors frequently refer to the Fleet Problems, the large scale exercises carried out by the US Navy in the 1920s and 1930s.  It would have been very helpful, not to say obvious, to include a list of these Problems, with dates, locations and commanders.  But such a list will not be found in this book and the reader has to rely on the brief snippets the authors provide.The best part of the book is the photographs, many of which will be unfamiliar as they are not from the wartime period.This book as far as it goes is a "good read".  But it could have been so much better.

    Good Explanation

of policy and procedures of the "interwar" Navy that makes it clear that although the "battleline " of battleships was viewed as the primary source of naval power initially, by the late 1930's the uses and power of the carriers were becoming more evident.

    A solid and worthy read
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2006*

Thomas and Trent Hone, the father and son authors of Battle Line: The United States Navy 1919-1939 tackled a very crucial period in USN history and did it very concisely and well.  The between wars period is often overlooked or misunderstood.  Literally there was a revolution taking place within the Navy that was driven by technology (the aircraft, carrier & submarine) as well as new missions (amphibious assualt).  As with any change forced upon an institution, there is always reluctance and nay-sayers.  The innovators that brought about reliable submarines, carrier task forces and aviation development in this pre-war period are the un-sung heroes that deserve recognition and our gratitude.  Battle Line examines these trends and the people that took the lead in developing these capabilities that still serve us today in our modern Navy.  I would recommend this book to all who are interested in 20th century history as well the arm chair military history buffs.  My hat is off to these authors - BZ!
