I had read a bit about this suppressed disaster, but Reminick's minute by minute description of the German air attack on our mustard gas laden ship adds much to the story.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested WW2 or in Italy.
Reminick is really interested in the WW II Merchant Marine, so we get page after interminable page on what ships were present, what they were carrying, where they were bound, etc., the equivalent of telling the 9/11 story from the point of view of a fire engine manufacturer. In contrast, it's never made clear what kind of aircraft the German pilots were flying, much less who they were or what they thought about things.
There's also a number of chapters and appendixes on postwar poison gas dumping which, while interesting (and well-deserving of a volume of their own), have little to do with the topic and were obviously added to pad a 170-page book to the 200+ mark.
You will finish "Nightmare in Bari" more confused about the event than when you went in. Little worse can be said about any book.
