See photos for condition details. Large softcover, light gray exterior decorated on front and rear. The spine has the title and author's name written by hand. Exterior shows creases on front and back along with soiling and spotting. Interior binding is good, no hinge issues. Inscribed and signed by the author on the dedication page to a crewmember of the USS Pope. This same page shows another signature and address as well - this one being Vice Admiral Edward A. Parker, who was the Lt. Cmdr and Commander of the USS Parrott at the time.

In addition, the last free end page shows signatures and assignment info on an additional 19 enlisted and officers, most of which lists the ships they were on at the time of the campaign. At least one of the signatures matches a name of one of the quotes used in the preface (W. E. "Rebel" Morgan). Some of the ships listed by the names include the destroyers USS Paul Jones (DD-230), USS Parrott (DD-218), USS Barker (DD-213), USS Whipple (DD-217), USS Babbitt (DD-128), and the USS Alden (DD-211). The owner of the book was assigned to the USS Pope, which was attacked and destroyed on 01 March, 1942. The surviving crew spent nearly 60 hours in the water before being rescued.

A unique copy signed by many heroes whose bravery and sacrifices were long forgotten until this book was published. …
