This is one of those cases where I wish I could give half a star for 2 1/2 but that not being the case it gets two. As a historical record this book is fine as a historical narrative it leaves much to be desired. In a well justified effort to pay homage to the people who lay much on the line for the protection of the USA Clancy mentions those people he can when he can, but shows no editing skills, mentioning almost anyone and everyone who may even enter the room for a moment, leaving the reader drowning in over detail. More proof of my distrust of the "New York Times Bestseller" list
