Reseña del libro "U.S.S. Boston in World War II: Baked Beans Vol. 1 (en Inglés)"

U.S.S. Boston in World War II, Baked Beans Vol. 1, is a major revision to "Baked Beans Vol. 1", which was a follow-up to A Bird's Eye View, the story of the heavy cruiser USS Boston, and her exploits during WWll. Only primary-source historical materials (documents, photos, diaries, and first-hand accounts) are used in these books, with occasional overview statements from the author lightly sprinkled throughout. Source materials include the ship's and Task Force Action Reports, War Diaries, Decklogs and official Navy Photos from the Boston folders at the National Archives. Additionally, sailor's notes, documents, diaries and anecdotes flesh out the story from their points of view. The author interviewed six surviving Original Crewmembers and one Officer; their stories putting on the finishing touches. The Baked Beans Series chronicles the heavy cruiser CA-69 Boston from her christening in the Fore River (Quincy, MA) Shipyard in August 1942 until she leaves Japanese waters for the last time in January 1946. The incredible story is told through the eyes of her mostly 19 year-old enlisted men's point of view. The story of the Boston IS the story of Task Force 58 and vice-versa. Volume 1 - covers the first part of the Central Pacific War, including the capture of the Marshall Islands, Battle of the Philippine Sea ("Great Marianas Turkey Shoot"), and the securing of the Mariana Islands.
