Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. The navigator of the USS Houston confided these prophetic words to a young officer as he and his captain charted a course into U.S. naval legend. Renowned as FDR's favorite warship, the cruiser USS Houston was a prize target trapped in the far Pacific after Pearl Harbor. Without hope of reinforcement, her crew faced a superior Japanese force ruthlessly committed to total conquest. It wasn't a fair fight, but the men of the Houston would wage it to the death. Hornfischer brings to life the awesome terror of nighttime naval battles that turned decks into strobe-lit slaughterhouses, the deadly rain of fire from Japanese bombers, and the almost superhuman effort of the crew as they miraculously escaped disaster again and again--until their luck ran out during a daring action in Sunda Strait. There, hopelessly outnumbered, the Houston was finally sunk and its survivors taken prisoner. For more than 3 years their fare would be a mystery to families waiting at home. Using journals and letters, rare historical documents, including testimony from postwar Japanese War crimes tribunals, and the eyewitness accounts of "Houston's" survivors, James Hornfischer has crafted an account of human Valor so riveting and awe-inspiring, it's easy to forget that every word is true.
