The ghost that died at Sunda Strait

Description:

"This is the story of the Houston, told as only one who lived through her battles could ... [The author's] own experiences [as scout plane pilot] are bolstered by accounts from others involved, and by official and unofficial documents ... With this book, [he] brings to light new evidence supporting the contention that the Houston and other Allied warships inflicted a heavier toll on the Imperial Navy than the Japanese have ever been willing to admit"--Jacket.
