Book Synopsis The USS Ward by : Richard P. Klobuchar
Download or read book The USS Ward written by Richard P. Klobuchar and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1940, the threat of war in the Pacific forced the United States to expand its fleet quickly. This effort included reconditioning and recommissioning “four stackers” from the navy’s reserve fleet. Built in 1918 to fight German submarines, the USS Ward earned at Pearl Harbor the distinction of firing the first shot in America’s war against Japan. In the three years that followed, it was bombed, shelled, strafed, and finally sunk (on December 7, 1944), yet none of her crew of 125 men ever lost a life in combat. Information is drawn from naval records as well as from interviews with surviving crewmen. Appendices provide Ward technical data, a chronology of major events, listings of citations earned in World War II and of amphibious landings, and a roster of personnel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the biography of Mayor Catalino Gabot Hermosilla, Sr., a Filipino politician, who was the mayor of Ormoc, Leyte, Philippines during World War II from 1941 to 1943 during the occupation of Ormoc by the Imperial Japanese military. His term of office was characterized by danger in the hands of the occupying military force where he demonstrated uncommon valor with the skillful and diplomatic handling of the affairs of the government under the yoke of the oppressors while cuddling with his Filipino brother-in-arms who were fighting the Japanese as guerilla warriors in the town and around the hills of Ormoc while at the same time, “played ball with the enemy” in order to save lives and protect the population under the detriment of his own safety...a fete that he later called “walking on a tight rope.” It also contain numerous historical accounts and records of Ormoc that is a “must read” to every fellow Ormocanon.

Download or read book Pearl Harbor written by Takuma Melber and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawaii, 7th December 1941, shortly before 8 in the morning: Japanese torpedo bombers launch a surprise attack on the US Pacific fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor. The devastating attack claims the lives of over 2,400 American soldiers, sinks or damages 18 ships and destroys nearly 350 aircraft. The US Congress declares war on Japan the following day. In this vivid and lively book, Takuma Melber breathes new life into the dramatic events that unfolded before, during and after Pearl Harbor by putting the perspective of the Japanese attackers at the centre of his account. This is the dimension commonly missing in most other histories of Pearl Harbor, and it gives Melber the opportunity to provide a fuller, more definitive and authoritative account of the battle, its background and its consequences. Melber sheds new light on the long negotiations that went on between the Japanese and Americans in 1941, and the confusion and argument among the Japanese political and military elite. He shows how US intelligence and military leaders in Washington failed to interpret correctly the information they had and to draw the necessary conclusions about the Japanese war intentions in advance of the attack. His account of the battle itself is informed by the latest research and benefits from including the planning and post-raid assessment by the Japanese commanders. His account also covers the second raid in March 1942 by two long-range seaplanes which was intended to destroy the shipyards so that ships damaged in the initial attack could not be repaired. This balanced and thoroughly researched book deepens our understanding of the battle that precipitated America’s entry into the war and it will appeal to anyone interested in World War II and military history.
