Résumé du livre
The most thorough and informative history of the USS West Virginia available in one volume. Myron Smith has not only compiled a history of the USS West Virginia (BB-48), but he also includes an overview of other ships named USS West Virginia. This book doesn't just inform the reader about the ship herself, but goes into great detail about what life aboard a battleship was like from the 1920's through World War II. Direct, personal accounts of life on the Wee Vee give the reader a real sense of navy life and the ups and downs of wartime service. Originally published in hardcover in 1981, this 2009 edition contains the great original text in paperback. Illustrated, 205 pages.
