Breaking the Bismarcks Barrier, 22 July 1942-1 May 1944: History of United States Naval Operations in World War II (History of the United States Naval Operations in World War II)

These paperback editions of Samuel Eliot Morison s multivolume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II are being published by the Naval Institute Press with new introductions by noted military historians. The fourteen volumes in the series will be published over a three-year period. Critically hailed for their accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, Morison s classic works present a complete naval record of the war. Volume 6 traces the gradual turning of the Pacific War from the overconfident Japanese to the determined, undersupplied Allies. It examines the pivotal Papuan campaign, the Huan Gulf and Bougainville campaigns, and the conflicts that led to the taking of Rabaul.
