Quality paperback editions of Samuel Eliot Morison’s multi-volume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II are being published by the Naval Institute Press with new introductions by today’s leading naval historians. The first three volumes were introduced in March. Volumes 4, 5, and 6 become available in September. Critically hailed for their accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, these classic works present a complete naval record of the war written by a participant. An eminent Harvard professor, Morison was commissioned in the U.S. Naval Reserve and served aboard eleven ships in all theatres of the war.
Volume 4 takes a richly detailed look at the first two naval battles in which aircraft played the defining role. The exploits of the fledgling American submarine corps in the Pacific are also fully examined. Critical information from the Japanese is included.
