Why read it?

1 author picked History of United States Naval Operations in World War II as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

When I began researching and writing for my books this fifteen-volume set by distinguished historian Rear Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison, was one of my first purchases for my World War II library. I consider his series a must-have for any WWII researcher or history buff. I did much of my research and writing on freighters and always took selected volumes with me.

From William's list on World War II in the Pacific.
