"In this colorful operational history of the U.S. Navy's destroyers and destroyer escorts in World War II, Theodore Roscoe pays tribute to the workhorses of the fleet that served in every theater of the war. As submarine hunters, convoy escorts, troop transports, radar pickets, rescue vessels, blockade runners, bombardment ships, and much more, these remarkably versatile ships-and the crews who manned them-took part in more operations than any other type of ship in the U.S. Navy. This is their story of the war." -- Front jacket flap.

Informazioni sull'autore (1953)

The allure of French Foreign Legionnaire Thibaut Corday's adventures flowed from the pen of Theodore Roscoe. In real life, Roscoe stowed aboard tramp steamers and mingled with locals in far away corners. His intriguing style later echoed in non-fiction works, when he was among the first to view declassified Lincoln assassination documents and when he documented historic American military operations.
