Book excerpt: "In February 1942 as the war in the Pacific came into full swing, a proud old aircraft carrier, the USS Langley, was called upon to attempt a mad dash across the Indian Ocean to deliver P-40 fighter planes to the Allies at Tjilatjap. To many, her mission seemed pointless, a desperate bid to serve a hopeless cause. To Dwight Messimer, the author of this carefully researched book, it was one of the monumentally stupid decisions of World War II, filled with political expediency and bureaucratic bumbling. Above all, it was a costly mistake in which nearly 800 men and three U.S. Navy ships were lost. Here at last is the full story behind this tragic episode. Based on over fifty eyewitness accounts by survivors, war documents never before cited, and original Japanese sources, Pawns of War describes in captivating detail the events that led up to the mission, the attack on the Langley by Japanese bombers, her abandonment and eventual sinking, the rescue of her survivors, and the attack on and sinking of the USS Pecos, the fleet oiler that took on most of her crew. But this book is more than just the story of the sinking of the Langley and the Pecos. It is also an in-depth examination of the circumstances surrounding the disaster, including the command mistakes that were partially responsible for the ships' predicaments and the tragedy's controversial aftermath in which the Langley's captain was charged with prematurely abandoning his ship."--Adapted from Amazon.

Book Synopsis The Pacific War Remembered by : John T. MASON
Download or read book The Pacific War Remembered written by John T. MASON and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable oral history collection, thirty-three participants in the turbulent epic that began with the day of infamy at Pearl Harbor and ended with the signing of the surrender documents in Tokyo Harbor tell their stories. Their remembrances of heartbreak, frustration, heroism, hope, and triumph were collected over a period of twenty-five years by John T. Mason. Their recollections reveal perspectives and facts not included in traditional works of history. Each selection, introduced with a preface that places it in the context of the Pacific War, takes the reader behind the scenes to present the personal, untold stories of naval history. Included are Admiral William S. Sullivan's account of the problems involved in clearing Manila Harbor of some five hundred wrecked vessels left by the departing Japanese and Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid's description of the communications breakdown at the Battle of Leyte Gulf. There are also the very personal recollections of humor and horror told by the unknown actors in the war: the hospital corpsman, the coxswain, and the machinist's mate. Originally published in 1986, this volume is an unusual and lasting tribute to the ingenuity and teamwork demonstrated by America's forces in the Pacific as well as a celebration of the human spirit

Book Synopsis The Allied Defense of the Malay Barrier, 1941-1942 by : Tom Womack

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though few realize it, the Netherlands East Indies were the object of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Likewise, their invasions of Guam, Wake Island and the Philippines were mainly diversionary operations to safeguard their main assault on Dutch and British colonies. Since the end of World War I, Japan had coveted the vast East Indies oil reserves, and the colony had feared invasion since Germany overran Holland in May 1940. Isolated politically the weakly defended archipelago was a tempting prize. The East Indies government initially maintained a strict policy of neutrality while desperately working to build up its military strength. As Japanese actions pushed the region toward war, the Dutch reluctantly embraced closer ties with America and Britain. For a brief period, the East Indies were key players in Pacific War strategy. This book details for the first time in English the Dutch prewar strategy, their efforts to counter Japanese espionage and their sizable though largely forgotten military contribution in the early months of the Pacific War.
Book Synopsis The U.S. Navy, the Mediterranean, and the Cold War, 1945-1947 by : Edward J. Sheehy
Download or read book The U.S. Navy, the Mediterranean, and the Cold War, 1945-1947 written by Edward J. Sheehy and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1992-08-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book-length study of U.S. naval operations in the Mediterranean from 1945 to 1947, a period that is crucial for understanding the Cold War and its origins. Edward J. Sheehy shows how America assumed the traditionally British role of providing Western naval strength in the area, detailing how an American squadron grew from skeleton size in 1945 into a powerful armada by the end of 1947. His analysis of the cautious, but effective, use of naval power to counter the Soviet Union is intended for students of military and diplomatic history. Using extensive records of the U.S. Departments of Navy and State, Dr. Sheehy examines decisions to assign naval vessels to the Mediterranean, governmental communications, the rationale for the naval presence in the area, and the working relationships between diplomatic and naval officials. The history begins with a brief summary of Western naval activity in the Mediterranean including the final months of World War II. The region witnessed a continual increase in activity from a cruiser's visit to Greece in late 1945 to developments toward a Sixth Fleet at the end of 1947. The naval build-up is thoroughly chronicled with accounts of the battleship Missouri's journey to the area, numerous destroyer and carrier cruises, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal's September 1946 announcement affirming America's permanent presence in the Mediterranean, and President Harry S. Truman's August 1947 directive regarding visits to Greece.
