Sacred Vessels

Beschreibung

With provocative insight and wit, this myth-shattering book offers an irreverent history of the modern battleship and its place in American history, from the sinking of the coal-fueled Maine in 1898 to the deployment of the cruise missile-armed Missouri in the Persian Gulf War of 1991. "Breezy, iconoclastic, and readable".--The Observer. Halftone illustrations.
