The U.S.S. La PORTE (APA 151), The "Pearl of the Pacific, attack transport was an amazing ship. "The Way It Was Then", At That Time, Out There, Never To Be Again!

This 2nd Edition improves upon the formatting and pictures, as well as improving some of the spelling and grammar.As a very young, inexperienced, idealistic, young man, just out of high school at 18 years of age, I felt blessed, with self-confidence and reasoning to do what I could for the war effort. I have taken time with careful attention to write this book, as authentically, as I have experienced it, and to obtain verifiable information taken from my copies of our ship's log, those of some of my shipmates and their writings and logs, This information is honest and accurate, verified by professional writers on these subjects, and by respected experts of high ranking officers, as Admirals of the U.S. Navy and of the Bureaus of the Military. I experienced and observed conflicts, confrontations, hardship and the terrible effects of war. Please accept my apologies for any grammatical errors or imperfections, as I am at the mature age of 85 and counting. The United States was a slow moving, traditional, safe, law-biding society, just recovering from one of the worst depressions, then December 7, 1941 changed everything. America has never been the same. This book is a history lesson, and the personal experiences of a young officer. God Bless our Service men and women.
The New York Times bestselling official companion book to the Emmy® Award-winning HBO® miniseries. Look for The Pacific miniseries, now available to stream on Netflix! Between America's retreat from China in late November 1941 and the moment General MacArthur's airplane touched down on the Japanese mainland in August of 1945, five men connected by happenstance fought the key battles of the war against Japan. From the debacle in Bataan, to the miracle at Midway and the relentless vortex of Guadalcanal, their solemn oaths to their country later led one to the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot and the others to the coral strongholds of Peleliu, the black terraces of Iwo Jima and the killing fields of Okinawa, until at last the survivors enjoyed a triumphant, yet uneasy, return home. In The Pacific, Hugh Ambrose focuses on the real-life stories of five men who put their lives on the line for our country. To deepen the story revealed in the HBO® miniseries and go beyond it, the book dares to chart a great ocean of enmity known as the Pacific and the brave men who fought.
