Book Review: The Fate of the Maine
Summary: 4 Stars
Although written in 1957, This book gives a factual account relating to the loss of the Maine, America's first battleship. Good historical background account that a recent National Geographic article used for background information. The controversy rages on today. Was she mined, or was it an internal explosion due to a design defect in the Maine class battleships. The only thing I would like to see added is Admiral Hymen Rickovers account, written in 1976,which he "proves" and contends, that it was an internal explosian that sent the Maine down in Havana harbor. The incident that started the Spanish-American war and made the U.S. into a world power is well worth reading.
