In the words of those who manned her; the destroyer USS Dale’s war comes vividly to life in this first oral history of a combat ship from World War II’s start to finish. From carrier raids on Midway; Guadalcanal; and the Solomons to the bombarding of Saipan and Guam in the capture of the Marianas; from the Aleutians in the far north to strikes on Tokyo and Kobe; Tales from a Tin Can re-creates the action aboard the Dale and conveys as never before the true grit of wartime on a destroyer.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very goodBy Richard L. RankinI like this very much. It is a first work by a new scholar that is very good. He draws heavily on the work of Gregory Schopen whose books of essays whose excellent and relatively obscure work provides the archaeological underpinnings of this sort of interpretation. There is no reason to believe that any religion (or philosophy) practiced today bears even a passing resemblance to what it was 2500 years ago.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. ReviewBy ChuckVery good treatise. Author explains a great deal about archaeological methods; concepts. Perhaps unnecessary for those with archaeology backgrounds; yet helpful . Places historical indian Buddhism in a wider social context and adds evidence to the fact that Buddhism; through Buddhist monasteries and Buddhist mendicant monks were widespread throughout India and were integrated into a pan Indian trading and social network from 300 BC to 300 AD. These dates of course are arbitrary but embrace the record.
