David R. Leick
This new history of the life and loss of USS Princeton tells the story of the new class of aircraft carrier that proved essential to the US Navy’s victory over the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Pacific War.
USS Princeton (CVL-23) started life as the light cruiser Tallahassee before being converted while still under construction into a light carrier as part of the plan to ramp up the strength of US naval air power. The vessel joined the Pacific Fleet in August 1943 and was immediately put to work as the United States was assembling new ships and crews for the bitter struggle to come. Princeton played a key role in conducting multiple strikes against the Japanese bastion at Rabaul, and then joined Task Force 58/38 – the Fast Carrier Task Force – for the Central Pacific campaign, culminating in the invasion of the Philippines, where the ship was lost.
David R. Leick skillfully uses first-hand accounts to examine the engagements, aircraft, tactics, command decisions and life on board during the Pacific campaign against Japan from early 1943 until Princeton’s tragic demise in October 1944. He focuses closely on the ship’s crew and embarked Naval Aviators, describing in detail the toll that prolonged combat operations took on the frontline sailor.©2024 David R.

批評家のレビュー
David Leick’s fine account of USS Princeton in World War II offers detailed, readable insight into the light carriers that carried much of the load in the Pacific War.
David R. Leick skillfully tells the Princeton’s story and begins to give the overlooked light carriers their due.
USS Princeton was one of the US Navy’s first light carriers and racked up an impressive war record until she was sunk at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944. The author easily moves between the ship’s commissioning, through her extensive wartime operations, to detailing her eventual loss.
A compelling exploration of the USS Princeton, a light aircraft carrier that played a pivotal role in the Pacific Theatre during World War II... Leick’s ability to convey the intensity of battle while maintaining clarity makes the book suited to both history enthusiasts and casual readers.
