Book Overview
Today's sailors have too little appreciation of their heritage. To counter this problem, Thomas J. Cutler has compiled a history of our naval heritage in the form of A Sailor's History of the U.S. Navy. The work is unique in two important ways.

It was a fun to read history book that doesn't plod its way through history chronologically. Culter did a great job teaching history while telling stories. These stories from give a basis of traditions and relay core values. He uses Navy jargon in way that teaches the reader how to relate to the unique language spoken by sailors. A great primer on US Navy history that is a very easy read and doesn't get bogged down in details. Core values are relayed in a way that make you proud to be associated with the US Navy.
