4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book. Misleading Title,
By A Customer
This review is from: USS New Jersey: WWII to the Persian Gulf (Motorbooks Classic) (Paperback)
Contrary to the title, this book only covers the NJ during its deployment during Lyndon Johnson's War. There is no real coverage of WWII or Reagan era. I believe that the hardcover version of this book had a different title.As a story of the New Jersey during the 60's, this is a great book. Most books use photographs of the 80's NJ or the WII NJ. This books shows what it was like between these eras (The NJ fired more 16" shells during this deployment than during WWII). There are many excelent photographs.
