Description
"What’s new about World War II in the Pacific? How about a new, previously unpublished naval diary?
Log of the War: A Pacific Naval Diary brings new information to us, written by a yeoman second class serving on the USS Minneapolis. Vince E. DeCook’s eyewitness account begins December 7, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, continuing through the fall of 1942. There are no comparable diaries that include these events: Pearl Harbor, Battle of the Coral Sea including the sinking of the Lexington, Battle of Guadalcanal, and others.
Learn what they knew and when they knew it. Names, dates, locations, vessels… it’s all here. Through this account, one can feel the danger, the frustrations, and the fears of serving on a ship during a war, and realize the commitment to duty our servicemen exhibited."
