Description: pages ; cm.
The Naval Institute Press has published Samuel Eliot Morison's monumental History of United States Naval Operations in World War II in updated paperback editions with new introductions by noted military historians. Morison, an eminent Harvard professor, was appointed by his close friend, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to write the history of US naval operations after convincing the president that too many wartime histories were written after the fact or from a distance. Morison called his classic work a ""shooting history"" of World War II, because it was documented by historical observation during each specific naval operation in the Atlantic and Pacific. Critically hailed for its accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, the series presents a complete record of the U.S. Navy's war at sea.
This first volume explores all US naval operations in the Atlantic, including the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Barents Sea, and the defence of American shores and ships, with much attention given to the war against the German U-boats.
This edition has a new Introduction by Robert W. Love, author of History of the U.S. Navy: Volume I, 1775-1941 and Volume II, 1942-1991.
