 Battlestations! American Warships of World War IINicholas A. Veronico Armand H Veronico$34.95 Black and white photographs and newsreels have left many people with a largely monochromatic impression of World War II. The soldiers and civilians who fought and survived remember its events in vivid color. American sailors often saw enemy territory as turquoise waters, dense green jungles, and azure skies. Contact quickly turned paradise into a nightmare with a hail of yellow-flashing gunfire, terrible explosions, and decks stained red with blood. Battlestations! American Warships of World War II in color pierces the black and white veil with 150 exceptional, rare, full-color images of U.S. Navy action on destroyers, submarines, battleships, and carriers. Framing these rare images is an absorbing narrative that recounts the most harrowing American naval battles of World War II. Battlestations! describes the greatest triumphs and defeats fought by the U.S. Navy. The war in the Pacific is covered from the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to their surrender in Tokyo Bay. Also covered is the U-Boat peril off the Atlantic seaboard, the invasion of North Africa, and details of the Navy’s role in the Normandy invasion and the advance into the heart of Germany. In this unique perspective of World War II, the U.S. Navy shows its true colors.
