Vietnam War Editorial Review
**** "The Sailing of the Intrepid: The Incredible Wartime Voyage of the Navy’s Iconic Aircraft Carrier" offers an in-depth and captivating look into a critical episode of maritime history surrounded by World War II drama. The book is well-crafted, featuring a narrative that draws on extensive research while maintaining an engaging flow, making it accessible for both ardent naval enthusiasts and casual readers. Many reviewers have noted the author’s ability to weave historical details alongside compelling storytelling. Central to the book is the courageous voyage of the USS Intrepid, particularly when the ship faced a jammed rudder and crew members ingeniously rigged a makeshift sail to guide her back to safety. This remarkable feat has been praised as innovative, sparking interest not only from military historians but also from readers with personal connections to the Intrepid—such as those who had family members serving on the vessel. However, while the focus on this thrilling two-week episode is appreciated, some readers felt that the narrative could be overly expanded, with additional content that appears to stray into tangential territory. Critiques include a potential overabundance of background information and comparisons that may detract from the core story. Despite mixed feelings regarding pacing, the book is recommended for those intrigued by naval history and the lore surrounding the USS Intrepid. In summary, "The Sailing of the Intrepid" serves as both a significant historical account and an emotional tribute, making it a commendable addition to the library of anyone interested in American naval history or World War II. **
