Excellent book, very thorough. It covers the different variations of PT boats, the manufacturers, and their participation in the different theaters of WWII. If you liked McHale's Navy, or are a WWII or U-boat buff, you'll likely find this book to be interesting. As a bonus, there are lots of pictures, maps and diagrams. A good read!
