Destroyer Operations

Post by sabre1 »

Have any of you guys seen the book called "Destroyer Operations in World War II", by Theodore Roscoe?

It was published by the Naval Institute Press.

A friend of mine just gave me a copy.

Got the book. There is also a companion book called "Submarine Operations in World War II."
These books are rare gems that I consider essential to study of World War II naval history. Not only due tothe text, but also due to the rare pictures and maps. The sub book actually has full color maps that chart every sinking by month. The maps fold out and list the sinkings by ship, sub, and aircraft for each period with a separate map for each period.

Can you post more information on this book and possible a web address where I can order? I would LOVE to get my hands on a copy of that.
