Description
Selected by Leatherneck magazine as its "book of the month" during 2008, this book is the comprehensive account of Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams and his time in the US Navy and Marine Corps. Williams served in World War II and flew 39 combat missions as a dive bomber during the Korean War, devoting most of five baseball seasons to military service. In Korea, he flew in an elite jet squadron alongside John Glenn - who is one of 40 Marines interviewed for this book.
