Ten years after the close of World War II the US Navy produced a chronology of its operations in the War which focused on the events then perceived as the most significant. Fifty years on, and drawing on all the additional research and writing, Robert Cressman has now written this work which covers the operational aspects of the US Navy, its allies and enemies, in every theatre from the outbreak of the European war in 1939. Sponsored by the US Navy's Naval Historical Center and illustrated with over 80 photographs, this work is based on primary sources, translated enemy documents and formerly classified intelligence materials.
