The fabulous author, James Hornfischer, was just lost to untimely illness. His wife and son worked with him to finish “Who Can Hold the Sea” prior to his death.

Very sorry to hear that. If it weren’t for his writings and research many of these WW2 naval heroes would be largely unknown.

I had no idea. That’s terrible. His books are superb.

I highly recommend The Fleet at Flood Tide. Like all of his books, it’s highly readable and packed with information.

RIP. Far too young.
