Arthur Nicholson looks at how the US Navy rose from the humiliation of Pearl Harbor in 1941 to become the most powerful navy in the world by 1945, taking the Japanese surrender at Tokyo Bay. This book includes a narrative history of the US Navy's actions in the Second World War, covering Pearl Harbor, the plight of the US Asiatic Fleet, the Coral Sea and Midway battles, the campaign for Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the appearance of the kamikaze menace, and the final battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
