Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Second Printing. 430, [2] pages. Illustrations. Sources. Bibliography. Index. DJ has some wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author. Charles C. Thompson II was born on May 18, 1942 in Memphis, Tennessee, USA as Charles Clinton Thompson II. Mr. Thompson, a Navy com…bat veteran of the Vietnam War, was exposed to the toxic defoliant Agent Orange in the 1960s during a military assignment as a land-based spotter for naval gunfire in Southeast Asia. He was a producer and writer, known for 60 Minutes (1968), A Glimpse of Hell (2001) and 60 Minutes Wednesday (1999). He uncovered evidence pointing to a drug overdose as the cause of singer Elvis Presley's death. Charles C. Thompson II was a TV news producer who in 1991 helped expose mustard gas experiments on thousands of unwitting U.S. Navy recruits during World War II. He returned from the war ostensibly unscathed, but the effects of Agent Orange would surface nearly 30 years and forced his early retirement from CBS in 1995. A Glimpse of Hell: The Explosion on the USS Iowa and Its Cover-Up is a nonfiction book of investigative journalism, written by Charles C. Thompson II and published in 1999. The book describes the USS Iowa turret explosion that took place on April 19, 1989, and the subsequent investigations that tried to determine the cause. The explosion aboard the United States Navy battleship Iowa killed 47 of the turret's crewmen. Soon after the explosion, Thompson was informed by an Iowa crewman that the Navy was conducting a dishonest investigation into the cause of the tragedy. Thompson, a producer for the television newsmagazine 60 Minutes, later produced several television reports which disputed the Navy's conclusions as to what had caused the explosion. Based on his work for the 60 Minutes reports plus further investigation on his own, Thompson wrote A Glimpse of Hell. Thompson's book concluded that the Navy had orchestrated a cover-up to conceal the true cause of the explosion.

"A harrowing account of a disaster at sea that, over a decade later, still reverberates through the ranks of the U. S. Navy. Early on an April morning, in the course of a r…outine training exercise in the Caribbean, the center gun in Turret Two of the recommissioned battleship USS Iowa blew up. The fireball that surged back into the seven-story death chamber released clouds of poisonous gases and ignited bags of powder, setting off further explosions. When firefighters finally battered open the escape hatch to the upper level of the turret, they saw bodies everywhere. At the base of the pit under the center gun room lay the remains of a sailor, much of his body missing. Tattooed on the upper left arm was a sailing ship with the words USS Iowa. Only one man on the battleship had a tattoo like that: second-class gunner's mate Clayton Hartwig. A botched investigation began mere hours after the deadly explosion. Captain Fred Moosally, an Annapolis football star who had recently taken command of the Iowa, declined an offer of assistance from a professional accident team aboard a nearby aircraft carrier. At his order, some 250 sailors labored to clean up the scarred turret, heaving immense steel plates and bulky pieces of equipment overboard and scrubbing off splatters of gore before painting the structure inside and out. Matters got even worse when the investigation began on land. A technical team managed to lose key evidence, two 2700-pound projectiles, in a locked storage facility, while conducting tests that proved nothing but the team's own incompetence. Squads from the Naval Investigative Service tried to twist testimony from grieving relatives of the slaughtered crew members. The concerted effort to pin blame for the Iowa explosion on Seaman Hartwig, supposedly acting to revenge a thwarted homosexual affair, ultimately destroyed careers up the chain of command of the U.
