Rave reviews in military publications and lots of letters praising the book:

Like it was yesterday. My shipmates, the gun explosions, going overboard, 
Japanese subs. Amazing! — John “Bo” Keally, USS Johnnie Hutchins DE 360

Scholarly. Totally absorbing. Definitive account of destroyer escorts in 
World War II. — Sheldon H. Kinney, CO Edsall 1943, CO Bronstein 1944, 
COMCRUDESPAC ‘71 & ‘72

In the flood of books about navy action in WWII, Tempest, Fire & Foe stands 
out for many reasons: superbly illustrated with authentic pictures of DE 
combat and its aftermath, giving this informative, comprehensive and readable 
text an immediacy that is starkly realistic. Surely an important contribution 
to naval history. — RADM Ralph G. Coburn, USNR (RET)

This book is about many of my personal heroes, the destroyer escort 
commanding officers, the men they led, and the small but mighty warships they 
sailed to victory. — RADM Stephen K. Chadwick, USN (RET)

Accolades to Andrews for his accurate and in depth account of the heroics of 
officers and men that manned the destroyer escorts in World War II. — James
