Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Bill Nevitt’s narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. His clear enunciation and steady pace keep you engaged throughout the 14+ hours. Stern's writing is sharp, dissecting the battle with meticulous detail without getting bogged down in overly technical jargon. The pacing is spot-on, balancing explanatory text with engaging anecdotes that make the narrative flow smoothly. A minor critique: some sections could benefit from more diverse narration styles to emphasize key points and break up the monotony of battle descriptions. Despite this, 'Scratch One Flattop' remains a compelling listen for anyone interested in naval history or WWII strategic battles.
