LAYTON, ARTHUR B., Jr. The Navy War : an Oral and Visual History of World War II at Sea.
Castine, ME Country Roads Press 1992 096306469X / 9780963064691 Soft Cover Very Good
With photographs from the National Archives and the Department of the Navy. 134 pages, very well illustrated, pictorial wrappers, 8-1/2 by 11 inches, very good. From the publisher: Moments of exhilaration, hours of boredom, days and nights of pure terror - the faces and feelings of war are the heart of this unusual keepsake book. Tracing the naval history of WWII in photos from the Navy Department and the National Archives - and using the words of veterans who were there - The Navy War offers a vivid and highly personal account of the wartime experience. This is indeed a book to be treasured by veterans and their families, and by anyone with an interest in 20th century American history. Arthur B. Layton, Jr. Is an award-winning writer of nautical and maritime articles, particularly for New England-based newspapers and magazines. His work has appeared in The Boston Globe, Down East Magazine, National Fisherman, Time and other publications. Layton's personal interviews with WWII veterans heighten the drama and pathos of The Navy War. From the introduction: "Now, after more than fifty years on the ordinary oceans of everyday life, the sailors who fought the Battle of the Atlantic, struggled at Midway or Okinawa, or saw action off the shores of Europe or North Africa still recall those extraordinary experiences with near-perfect clarity. In the pages of these books, you'll meet a number of those sailors and read their personal stories. Authentic combat photographs form the Navy Department and the National Archives help them recapture the drama of the war's most decisive sea battles. " ; 134 pages
