Originally published in 1963; this classic; single-volume history draws on Morison's definitive 15-volume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II. More than a condensation; The Two-Ocean War highlights the major components of the larger work: the preparation for war; the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; the long war of attrition between submarines and convoys in the Atlantic; the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway; the long grind of Guadalcanal; the leapfrogging campaigns among the Pacific islands; the invasion of continental Europe; the blazes of glory at Leyte and Okinawa; and the final; grudging surrender of the Japanese.
