War Diary (Paperback)

The destroyers of World War II were the workhorses of the fleet,
but their contributions have been largely forgotten in the passage
of time. Even during the war, official reports listed the names of
all battleships, cruisers, and aircraft carriers participating in
an operation, but the destroyers that escorted the Task Group and
drew the dangerous close in fire support tasks were seldom listed
by name or hull number. They were grouped in classifications such
as "fourteen Destroyers" or merely, "fourteen escorts."
Drawing on official records and the memories of the men who fought
in the Pacific War from its decks, Gary McIntosh has created a
highly readable history of the USS Stevens, a Fletcher-class
destroyer that participated in some of the better known invasions
of the war and some that have been virtually forgotten. Spanning
the years from the time the ship was launched in June 1942 until it
was decommissioned in September 1946, few books have ever
chronicled the life of a single ship the way this one does. Tin Can
Sailors and landlubbers alike will enjoy this story of life aboard
a destroyer during the greatest conflict the world has ever known.
