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 Four - the second in this series on the war in the Pacific-turns the corner from defeat to victory; beginning with the first of the great carrier actions of the war; the Battle of the Coral Sea. Filled with many maps and file photographs.
