5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent summary of US WW2 Cruisers!, January 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: American Cruisers of W. W. II: A Pictorial History (Paperback)

If you find it somewhere, grab it! This is a great book. It covers 74 US Cruisers that saw action in WW2, that earned at least one battle star. It covers Heavy Cruisers, Light Cruisers, and the Alaska-class Battlecruisers. It also briefly covers the Princeton-class Light Carriers that were built on Cleveland-class cruiser hulls. The book covers the ship by class, with a short introduction. A summary of each ship's WW2 history then follows. There's at least one photo of every cruiser.

This review is from: American Cruisers of W. W. II: A Pictorial History (Paperback)

It is unusually difficult to find good books on this subject. It has a brief history of each ship, and some excellent photos. I highly recommend it.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: American Cruisers of W. W. II: A Pictorial History (Paperback)

While the text is dated in places, this is well worth the effort. IMHO this stands out and provides some value in an arena that is crowded with valuless pamphlet type books.
