Elohcin Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I am looking for books on naval battles in general and WWII books specifically,although any naval battles would be of interest. I have used the search here and not had luck and have tried to google, but I am not having much luck. Does anyone have or has had a boy who loves this genre and can help me? Thanks, Nichole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ultra Hush Hush is a great book on secret missions but it isn't all navel. http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Hush-hush-Espionage-Missions-Outwitting/dp/1550377787/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327953513&sr=1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My husband (who's a naval officer) got the Battle At Sea book mentioned above for a gift when leaving his last ship. It's an excellent book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elohcin Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks so much. I will show them to him. He has been a tough kid to get to read. He reads well, just doesn't prefer to...unless it is a battle and a naval battle in particular. He just finished a thick book on WWII, so I am grateful for the recommendations.

Elohcin Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks all! Ordered most of them. The others are in my cart. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elinnea Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 He might enjoy Nick of Time. My two boys are big WWII buffs and I thought they would love this book. We checked it out from the library and we used it as a read-aloud. I think this is the only book that I've read to them that they have absolutely hated. I know it's supposed to be science-fiction but they were really bothered by all the historical inaccuracies. OP, is your son interested in a specific battle or area? Is he more interested in the actual battle or the ships/ submarines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
