The Hooligans by P.T. Deutermann is the seventh in a series of novels that revolve around World War II. Deutermann himself served in the military for nearly 30 years, serving in a variety of roles including the USS Morton, the USS Hull and the guided missile destroyers Jouett and Tattnall. Deutermann brings all his military experience to bear in Hooligans, which starts off at a break-neck pace and ends with the reader nearly out of breath. The Hooligan Navy is but a footnote in history to most but this book brings them to life in a way few authors could. Deutermann blends together fact and fiction in a way few authors can match. If you are a fan of such noted authors as Clancy, this book is a must-read. I give it 4/5 stars.
