    The strength of Winkler's interesting and educational presentation is its blend of a wartime diary, historical context, and professional commentary. Witness to Neptune's Inferno is a great read for future strategic leaders for many reasons, particularly the importance of reflection., David Winkler is like a great scent hound who can sniff out a good story that lesser historians missed. His narrative that accompanies Mustin's diary is a great tale... a valuable addition to understanding issues and personnel during the dark months of 1942., ... a tantalizing window into Mustin's experiences during the early years of the conflict, with vivid details captured by Mustin's war diary and his personal recollections of the Battle of Guadalcanal from a naval perspective., This book is a valuable addition to the Pacific War corpus while providing insights into some of the formative experiences of Lloyd Mustin who would eventually rise to the flag rank of vice admiral. Winkler's supporting narrative is well written, and he draws upon a wide array of sources to bring Lloyd Mustin's world to life., Keeping diaries on board ship during World War II was forbidden, but history is all the richer thanks to those who did... This book adds to our understanding of the Pacific war thanks to a very observant officer -- a member of a four-generation naval dynasty -- who was at the scene of intense naval combat., ...richly describes so many timeless, classical, and archetypal aspects of war that anyone from the Napoleonic soldier to the Iraq War veteran could probably identify and relate to them., ...a very rare and impressively candid day-to-day account of life and combat in the World War II Pacific Theater...A fascinating and informative read from start to finish...

    Synopsis
    Rare first-hand account of USS Atlanta's war--including the battles of Midway, Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz and Guadalcanal, where the ship was sunk., "... a tantalizing window into Mustin's experiences during the early years of the conflict, with vivid details captured by Mustin's war diary and his personal recollections of the Battle of Guadalcanal from a naval perspective." -- American Rifleman 1942 would prove crucial for the United States in the Pacific following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and a series of setbacks in the Southwest. As the first ship commissioned following America's entry into World War II, the light cruiser USS Atlanta would be thrust into the Pacific fight, joining the fleet in time for the pivotal battle of Midway and on to the Guadalcanal campaign in the Southwest Pacific. Embarked was an exceptionally astute observer, Lieutenant Commander Lloyd M. Mustin, who faithfully recorded his thoughts on the conflict in a standard canvas-covered logbook.Diaries were not supposed to be kept by those serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and for good reason. If recovered by the Japanese, they would likely have revealed that the Japanese code had been broken prior to the battle of Midway. Thus, Mustin's diary is a rare day-to-day accounting of the Pacific from a very opinionated mid-grade officer. Beginning with the commissioning of Atlanta at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Christmas Eve 1941, Mustin covers the ship's workups and her deployment to the Pacific in time for the battle of Midway.It's then on to the Southwest Pacific, where the ship first engages enemy aircraft at the battle of the Eastern Solomons in late August 1942. Mustin's final entry covers the battle of Santa Cruz in late October 1942. The story is completed by an account of the battle of Guadalcanal and beyond, drawing upon Mustin's oral history. This is a valuable document, fully interpreted to provide a better understanding of the Pacific War during that critical year.
