Notes, glossary, index. Description: This copy is Signed, with a personalized inscription, by the author. Includes ten maps and a short section of black and white photo illustrations. Author James Edwin Alexander joined the navy in 1947 and served aboard the destroyer USS John A Bole from 1949 to 1951 and the USS Hanson from 1953 to 1955. For this book, the author has created a fictional destroyer named the USS John J Borland, and he records through this single vessel the actual experiences of a number of real destroyers via their logs and diaries and other source materials. His impeccable research and informal style combine to produce a highly readable work that gives the reader a feel for what the American forces had to endure, fighting both the elements and at times an overwhelming enemy. A revealing view of the war through a seaman's eyes.
