Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, MD. 2015. Softcover/ Trade Wraps. 4th Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good; bumping to front tips; rubbing and superficial scratches to front wrap. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 240 pp 8vo. On May 7 and 8, 1942, fast carrier task forces from the United States and Imperial Japanese met in combat for the first time in the Battle of the Coral Sea. A strategic victory for the U.S. despite the loss of the carrier Lexington, the battle blunted the Japanese drive on Port Moresby, a valuable Allied air base on the island of New Guinea. The author offers a detailed analysis of the fundamental strategies employed by Japan and the U.S. in the South Pacific from January to June 1942, the efforts of Adm. Ernest J. King to reinforce the area in spite of Roosevelt's Europe First grand strategy and Adm. Chester Nimitz's aggressive plans to fight in the Coral Sea. This book provides a superb overview of the crucial first six months of the naval war in the South Pacific. A clean very presentable copy.…
