Praise for The Ship That Wouldn't Die
"Most accounts of the Battle of the Coral Sea treat the attack on Neosho as a footnote... Author Don Keith takes a different angle, sticking with Neosho, Sims, and their crews as they battle the Japanese and then the cruel sea and blistering sun. The story is replete with heroic endurance and selflessness--but also human failings and miscues. Keith doesn't airbrush the inglorious. Instead, he balances all elements to construct a satisfying narrative with deep human interest and cliffhanger appeal."--World War II magazine
"Keith made me feel as though I was watching [the battle] in real time... worth the price of admission for the serious historian as well as those who just like a good yarn."--Naval Historical Foundation
