This is the first volume (1 of 15) chronologically, but the second in order of publication, of Captain Morison's "shooting history". This book deals with the defense of our own shores and ships, describing the gradual emergence of the Navy--between 1939 and 1943--from neutrality patrol and Western Hemisphere defense, through the "short-of-war" phases to full-fledged ear with Germany and Italy.
