Hornfischer, acclaimed author of \u003cbr\u003eThe Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors\u003cbr\u003e, delivers an unflinching account of heroism and honor at the limit of human endurance, and of the unsung warriors who waged one of the most remarkable battles of World War II.\u003cbr\u003eRenowned as FDR's favorite warship, the cruiser USS \u003cbr\u003eHouston\u003cbr\u003e was a prize target trapped in the far Pacific after Pearl Harbor. Without hope of reinforcement, her crew faced a superior Japanese force ruthlessly committed to total conquest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHornfischer brings to life the awesome terror of nighttime naval battles that turned decks into strobe-lit slaughterhouses, until the \u003cbr\u003eHouston\u003cbr\u003e was finally sunk and its survivors taken prisoner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more than three years, the war continued for the crew in the brutal privation of jungle POW camps. But the men of the \u003cbr\u003eHouston\u003cbr\u003e fought back against their dehumanization with dignity, ingenuity, sabotage, willpower, and the undying faith that their country would prevail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing journals and letters, rare historical documents, and the eyewitness accounts of the \u003cbr\u003eHouston\u003cbr\u003e's survivors, James Hornfischer has crafted an account of human valor so riveting and awe-inspiring, it's easy to forget that every single word of it is true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor CD Player\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":46920063680790,"sku":"45610","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used In Box","offer_id":46920063713558,"sku":"94056","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/products\/202392816183130.jpg?v=1700450416","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/ship-of-ghosts-5-disc-set","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
