'Even though the U.S. government continues to deny it, Gregory Freeman has dug out the true hidden story of the first mutiny in the history of the U.S. Navy. You'll enjoy this high seas thriller.' - James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers, Flyboys, and The Imperial Cruise 'This is a real nail-biter, a genuine page-turner. Just when you thought you had heard everything about carrier operations during the Vietnam War, here is the story of the mutiny that the US Navy didn't want you to know about. Page, by agonizing page, you are below deck as everything unravels and everything you thought you knew proves to be wrong. It's always exciting to read a book that provides new or overlooked information about events you thought were set in stone within the historical record, but in Troubled Water, Gregory Freeman not only tells you about it, he takes you there - aboard the USS Kitty Hawk, as mutineers gradually alter the course of an American warship from measured precision to chaos and anarchy.' - Bill Yenne, Author of Aces High, The Heroic Saga of the Two Top-Scoring American Aces of WWII and Rising Sons: The Japanese-American GIs Who Fought for the US in WWII 'Gregory Freeman is a master of riveting and thoughtful examinations of military sagas that no one else has the courage to take on. Troubled Water is his finest book in a distinguished career.' - Gregg Olsen, Author of Heart of Ice and A Wicked Snow Reviews for Gregory A. Freeman's previous works: Sailors to the End: 'A doozy of a story.' - Atlanta Journal-Constitution '[A] thorough, absorbing account.' - Library Journal 'An excellent book...Freeman does an admirable job of relating this story that has been untold for too long.' - The Springfield (IL) State Journal-Register 'Exciting...breathtaking.' - Booklist 'Fascinating...full of romance, action, and adventure...told with skill and grace.' - America in WWII
