From December 7, 1941 until September 1945, seventy-four (74) American cruisers fought in at least one battle against Germany, Japan or both and therefore received recognition by the award of a battle star. This book is the story of those 74 victorious cruisers with one or more battle stars. The book is packed full of rare photos and valuable data, covering the development of the American cruisers, heavy cruisers, the Alaska-class battle-cruisers, light cruisers, and the cruisers which were converted into the CVL mid-sized aircraft carriers. There is even a chapter dealing with Japanese cruisers of World War II. A must-have for navy and World War II history buffs.

BOOK REVIEWS
"This book contained what I was looking for. My Dad served on the USS Phoenix CL-46. I found books that never gave Dads ship any credit for her war record, although this book doesn't list all the details, it sure did give Phoenix (and all other cruisers) credit well deserved. Excellent book!" Robert W. Thieman
"It is unusually difficult to find good books on this subject. It has a brief history of each ship, and some excellent photos. I highly recommend it." James G. Beasley
"If you
find it somewhere, grab it! This is a great book. It covers 74 U.S. Cruisers
that saw action in WW2, that earned at least one battle star. It covers
Heavy Cruisers, Light Cruisers, and the Alaska-class Battle-cruisers. It also
briefly covers the Princeton-class Light Carriers that were built on
Cleveland-class cruiser hulls. The book covers the ship by class, with a
short introduction. A summary of each ship's WW2 history then follows.
There's at least one photo of every cruiser."
