"Eloquently written." Tucson Citizen "Vivid World War II sea and air battle descriptions." Washington Times "The story of the Intrepid is as fresh and exciting today as it was when the great ship was in the thick of the most ferocious sea battles ever. We're so lucky to have her around to remind us of past glories and dangerous times." Tom Brokaw "USS Intrepid 's story is the story of a ship from World War II to Vietnam, the 55,000 men who served aboard her, and all those who fought so valiantly to save her for future generations. Intrepid 's story is America's story, for as long as the flag caresses the wind and Americans believe in each other. Bill White and Robert Gandt have told it eloquently and well." Stephen Coonts "No ship other than Old Ironsides herself has a name that rings more brightly in the annals of our Navy's history than the USS Intrepid . This is an absorbing chronicle of the legendary aircraft carrier's long service in the fleet, from her two years in the fevered carrier actions of World War II to her unlikely role, moored on a Hudson River pier, on September 11, 2001. It's a fascinating look at how our carrier navy catapulted itself from a proud past into a limitless future. I learned something on almost every page." James D. Hornfischer, author of The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors and Ship of Ghosts "Bill White and Bob Gandt's tale of Intrepid represents a rare then-to-now account of a fighting flattop. It's rare because so few historic carriers remain today, let alone one that launched aircraft in World War II and Vietnam and featured in recoveries of multiple space capsules. Small wonder, then, that CV-11's veteran sailors and aviators retain such pride in their ship."

Synopsis
The USS Intrepid is a warship unlike any other. The 27,000-ton, Essex-class aircraft carrier has sailed into harm's way around the globe. At Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history, she sank Japanese warships and endured kamikaze and torpedo attacks. She fought at Okinawa and other Pacific battles, surviving to be the recovery ship for America's first astronauts and later returning to action in Vietnam. Intrepid brings this history to life in a stirring tribute complete with personal recollections of those who served on the ship, along with dramatic photographs, timelines, maps, and vivid descriptions of the deadly conflicts she endured. More than a numbers-and-dates narrative about an inanimate vessel, Intrepid tells the stories of people--those who sailed in her, fought to keep her alive, and perished in her defense--and powerfully captures the human element in the history of American heroism.

- c***c (61)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThe book was shipped very quickly and arrived exceptionally well-packaged. It was essentially as described in the listing--no surprise there. I would highly recommend this seller for a very positive experience. This book (Vol. 4) represents one more in my quest to have a complete set of all 15. Still looking for Vols. 5 and 14 in as good a shape as your Vol 4. If you can help me there, shoot me an e-mail Larry-BOS. ThanksHistory of United States Naval Operations in World War II Vol IVMidway Coral Sea (#156730085228)
