Product Description
This spectacular fifteen-volume series that charts the U.S. Naval operations during World War II with an insider's perspective. Morison, a Harvard professor, was given a special rank and writing post by FDR. He had active duty aboard eleven different ships, allowing him to witness many crucial battles in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Volume Eight-the sixth in this series to deal with naval actions in the Pacific-covers five of the most eventful months of the Pacific War, March through July 1944, including the Battle of the Phillippine Sea, a naval action equal to Midway, and the bitterly contested Marianas operation. Filled with many maps and file photographs.
