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 Five-the third on the war in the Pacific-is devoted entirely to the Guadalcanal campaign; in which the United States Navy experienced more fighting than in any three previous wars. Filled with many maps and file photographs.
