Escort Carriers of the U.S. Navy

Escort Carriers of the U.S. Navy superbly depicts the combat and non-combat lives of the escort carriers. This story will take us around the world and back, often in harm's way. It will leave some ships and men at the bottom of the sea, God rest them. And it will make of many—largely unsung—heroes. The comprehensive history is complemented by photographs from the Navy and the Reynolds/Gilbert Collection. Individual histories of the 86 escort carriers and biographies of veterans are included.
