Paperback. Zustand: Good. Combining meticulous detail with a forceful account of the action, Morison describes the landings themselves as well as the "dirty work in the dark" that preceded them: deceptions, diversions, commando raids, parachute drops, mine sweepings, air bombing, and naval bombardment. As he shows, the fire curtain provided by the powerful guns of the navy proved to be one of the most valuable trump cards of the Anglo-United States invasion armies. Morison covers the vital capture of Cherbourg as an invasion port and the diversionary landings in southern France that, together with Overlord, comprised the two main operations in the invasion of Europe in which the U.S. Navy played a leading part. At every stage, the fate of thousands of men depended not only on their own raw courage and resourcefulness but on quirks of timing and sheer luck. Morison offers a magnificent chronicle of these heroic days that definitively turned the tide of the war in Europe. About the Author Samuel Eliot Morison, an eminent Harvard professor, was appointed by close friend Franklin D. Roosevelt to write the history of U.S. naval operations during World War II after convincing the president that too many wartime histories were written after the fact or from a distance. Morison called his classic work a?shooting history? of World War II, because it was documented by historical observation during each specific naval operation in the Atlantic and Pacific. Hailed for its accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, this monumental work presents a complete record of the U.S. Navy?s war at sea, covering the strategic planning, battle tactics, and technological advances, as well as the heroic actions of American sailors.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Story of Mount Desert Island is part tribute to the glories and beauty of a place and part a history of its people-fisherman, sailor, farmer, lumberman, shipwright and quarryman rolled into one, and master of all. Originally conceived as a speech delivered to benefit local libraries, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Samuel Eliot Morison developed the text into a book first published in 1960. This revised edition adds historical photographs and commentary by Morison's daughter, Emily Morison Beck, editor of Sailor Historian, an anthology of Morison's work, and Gregory M. Pfitzer, an associate professor at Skidmore College and author of Samuel Eliot Morison's Historical World. But the text is vintage Morison. His breezy style captures the high points of the island's glorious history and touches many of Morison's own passions-from the early Abnaki tribes, to the great European explorers, to the island residents and rusticators, of which Morison was one, owning cottages in both Northeast Harbor and Tremont.…
