Pitrof Narrator: Eric Jason Martin Format: mp3 Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins Release date: 07-02-24 Ratings: 4 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: Naval Forces Publisher's Summary: In Too Far on a Whim, Tyler A. Pitrof presents a high-spirited revision of the US Navy's commitment to high-steam propulsion systems, the mainstay of its World War II fleets. Pitrof's research persuasively demonstrates that in its war against the Imperial Japanese Navy, the US Navy succeeded despite its high-steam propulsion systems rather than because of them. Pitrof provides an account that extends far beyond technology and into matters of naval hierarchies and bureaucracy, strategic theory, and ego.
