I've have been researching and writing Coast Guard History many years and this is not the first poorly done book I have seen.

It's about the story of one team and their uknown mission. That was the purpose of the book. Complaining about this not telling the USCG history is like complaining that the movie Miracle, about the 1980 USA team, was no good because it doesn't tell the history of the sport of hockey. That's wasn't it's intentions. This book is not about the Coast Guard and it's history. It's about the story of one team and their uknown mission. That was the purpose of the book.
