A first-class work that should get high marks from all interested in ships and the sea - and especially in the saving of a sinking ship. Peniston has captured the soul of the USS Samuel B. Roberts and the ship's crew, recounting their ordeal in riveting prose. * Norman Polmar, author of RICKOVER and SHIPS AND AIRCRAFT OF THE US FLEET * As fast-moving and tightly built as a Perry-class frigate, NO HIGHER HONOR drops the reader into the crucible of the 1988 tanker war in the Persian Gulf, the US Navy's most harrowing combat theater since World War II. The astonishing story of the saving of the USS Samuel B. Roberts illustrates the value of inspired naval leadership and the transcendent power that comes from pride of heritage. * James D. Hornfischer, author of THE LAST STAND OF THE TIN CAN SAILORS and SHIP OF GHOSTS * A great read. This is a story about the kind of command leadership that makes our Navy the greatest in the world. * Vice Adm. (ret.) Henry C. Mustin, former commander, US 2nd Fleet *
