Description

"Yet there was not the slightest sign of whimpering or discouragement. Ignorant of salt water as these men at that time were, they really represented about the finest raw material in the nation for this service." -William S. Sims, The Victory at Sea In Victory at Sea (1921), Adm. William Sims, leader of the US Navy in Europe in World War I, and renowned historian Burton J. Hendrick teamed up to reveal the remarkable accomplishments of naval forces during the war. Eventually converted to a highly successful film, the book provides an exceptional piece of "living history" derived from Sims's personal experience.
