I really enjoy reading about this period in history, whether Fiction or Non-Fiction. I get leery with Non-Fiction at times because I don't want to be bored while reading. Whelp Into Enemy Waters definitely won't have you bored.
The writing with this one is captivating and this was honestly hard to put down! I know, I know...it's military history so how could it be unputdownable. 😂 You'll have to read it to see what I mean.
I think the best part of this is where the inspiration for the Navy Seals came from. I can't even begin to imagine the harrowing exploits they had to go through back then, and now. I had mild anxiety just imagining being surrounded by all that water.
I also loved that not only do you read about the war, you get to meet George Morgan as he shares his journey in the UDT. He was 17 when he joined the Navy. 17!! I am astounded and in awe.
I can't put into enough words how amazing this one is. I highly recommend for any fan of military history or just history in general. Even historical fiction fans. The writing is so good you will forget you are reading Non-Fiction.
I am so thankful to Diversion Books and Books Forward for the review copy. My opinions are my own.
