Good Night Officially: The Pacific War Letters Of A Destroyer Sailor (History and Warfare) [Feb 20, 1994] Mcbride, William

Unknown binding. Zustand: Good. "These are the words of Orvill Raines, a newspaperman in civilian life, who now found himself in the uniofrm of a Yeoman Second Class on the destroyer Howorth and smack in the middle of the Pacific war. From his assignment to the ship in April 1944 until his death one year later in a kamikaze attack off Okinawa, Orvill Raines wrote a remarkable series of letters to his young bride, Ray Ellen. His perceptive, uncensored correspondence shows us, with a directness that no conventional history could hope to match, the horrific experiences shared by thousands of American seamen who fought 'the good war' against the Japanese half a century ago."Ex military library stock so expect to see light wear and possible markings and annotations in the text.
