Bøger i Military History of Texas serien

On the brink of World War II, Texas was still largely a rural state, a closed society with a frontier mentality, and a dire economic situation as a result of the Great Depression and drought. War brought with it 65 air fields, an influx of strangers, activity and money, and major changes.

The battleship Texas was for a time the most powerful weapon on earth. When it was commissioned in 1914, the 14-inch guns were the largest in the world. It served with the British Grand Fleet in World War I and was the flagship of the US Navy between the two World Wars. This work tells its story and the brave men who walked its decks.
