If you love the Navy, whether you're in the Navy or you know someone who is in the Navy, then this is the book for you. Don't be fooled by the admittedly somewhat drab cover, this book is crammed chock full of Naval heritage in glorious full color. From John Paul Jones and the earliest beginnings of the U.S. Navy to OPERATION DESERT STORM, this book tells the living story of the world's finest Navy, and the men who helped make it the world's finest Navy.
Until the aircraft came along in the early 1900s, the only way any nation could project power overseas was with its Navy, and the United States Navy was consequently a major force in the history of the United States. An un-biased history, this book tells it like it is, from the Navy's most thrilling victories at Midway and Leyte Gulf, and its ignominious defeats at Pearl Harbor and Hampton Roads. Yet when called upon, the Navy has always risen to the occasion, and done all that was asked of it and more.
