Not every naval book works equally well in audio

Which Pacific War book also works well as an audiobook?

He says some naval histories work well in audio and recommends the Naval Institute guide to Midway as both a readable book and a strong audiobook.

Audio history needs a writing style that works when heard rather than seen on the page. The Battle of Midway: The Naval Institute Guide to the U.S. Navy's Greatest Victory, edited by Thomas C. Hone, succeeds in both formats. It is a useful choice for listening as well as conventional reading.
