S'està carregant… Blood on the Sea (1995)de Robert Sinclair Parkin
   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) FBookhoo | Nov 21, 2010 |  Relates the ships' launchings and naming, their tour of duty, and the causes of their destruction. These include a short overview of the Ship's namesake and a short yet detailed account of what citations the ships received and their final action that resulted in their destruction and inclusion in this book. The author makes it quite clear that this book is about these seventy-one U.S. destroyers' final days and not a study of the great battles that they were in. If you are seeking out a book that covers the strategy and tactics of these destroyers, this is not the book for you. I find this to be a great reference guide and a good addition to my library of naval history. ( ) hermit | Nov 9, 2010 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Seventy-one American destroyers went down during World War II, and this meticulously researched book describes the history of each--from launch to the ship's final hours. Through these stories we travel from the stormy North Atlantic to the calm Mediterranean, from the East Coast of the United States to the vast reaches of the Pacific, on destroyers from the USS Reuben James to the USS Callaghan. We join them--and their crews of young soldiers--as they engage the enemy and do pitched battle with German submarines, Japanese kamikaze pilots, or long-range cruisers. Filled with eyewitness accounts, precise statistics, and historical contexts for each battle and each ship sunk, Blood on the Sea serves as both a tribute to these lost ships and a critical reference guide for historians and veterans alike.
