Replying to @IanWToll
@IanWToll I've listened to the pacific trilogy on audible but you can't search on that platform. In Pacific Crucible what chapter is 1941 Dec Wake Island battle?

This trilogy by @IanWToll is simply phenomenal. These are amongst the best to date literature on the topic that covers in detail the macro and micro levels of the conflict. Toll’s ‘slant,’ if you will, is from the naval perspective because that’s his bag. Like Hirohito’s War, I’d say they are difficult to approach unless you are certain you want to know an awful lot about these events, I think they run some ~2,000 pages in total. But they are some of my favorite books I’ve ever read. 12/10

Slight revision to my title and a not too subtle homage to @IanWToll. Six Oilers: The Epic History and Founding of the Supply Line   Between the United States and Australia in 1942 😁 Time to give some due to T-3 tankers Neosho, Sabine, Guadalupe, Platte, Cimarron & Kaskaskia.
Submission for the McMullen Naval Symposium @NavalAcademy ready to go. Six Oilers: The Ships That Held the Supply Line Between the United States and Australia in 1942.

Pelosi bodycam footage reveals devasting failure by @SFPD officers on the scene. Cops can clearly see that the attacker is prying the hammer lose, see pain erupt on Pelosi's face, but they don't move until too late. sfchronicle.com/crime/articl…) via @sfchronicle

“Four pages a day.” That’s what he told me, the first time I met him, in 2002. “Try to do more, you’ll burn out. But you’ve got to keep the pace if you want to finish.” Turned out to be just about exactly right. He was a great writer, one of the people who inspired me to do it.

@IanWToll's Pacific War Trilogy. Had no idea how fascinating/exciting/terrifying naval conflict was before his series. He does a brilliant job balancing major events with more personal accounts of the combatants, at all ranks, on both sides.

【2022Book07】“Twilight of the Gods”, Chinese edition, the final volume of Ian W. Toll's Pacific War Trilogy. This book presents the final stages of the war: from the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944 to the surrender of Japan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @IanWToll

“When he is at his best, as he often is in these pages, Kennedy can be dazzling. His prose never fails him; he is always graceful and lucid on the page.”

My favourite recent thing on this, shown off more through readings of Ian W. Toll and James D. Hornfischer: WWII Japan had the heaviest battleships ever built, with "Yamato" and "Musashi"...and had to leave them in port for most of the war thanks to how much fuel they burned.
