Scattered Far and Wide

This book, framed in three parts to cover the contributions of these Naval Academy graduates in the Pacific Theater from the Sea, in the Air, and below the Surface – shares the experiences of a group of men who fought the full scope of the war against Japan. Opening with their lives on the Yard, chapters quickly follow the graduates to their first postings as the United States enters the war in December of ‘41. Driven by personal perspectives on a monumental scale of events, readers are taken from Pearl Harbor to the Coral Sea and Midway, to the Japanese home islands in June of 1945 to understand the experiences and contribution of these Naval Academy graduates in the most monumental conflict of the twentieth century.
