USN Battleship vs IJN Battleship

Stille. Despite conventional wisdom suggesting that battleships would play a huge role in the Pacific they were instead relegated to secondary status — indeed they clashed only two times: at Guadalcanal in 1942 and Surigao Strait in 1944. This engaging study featuring full-color artwork and archive photographs examines American battleships versus their Japanese counterparts (with particular attention paid to those who fought head-to-head including the USS Washington USS South Dakota IJN Kirishima IJN Yamashiro IJN Fuso and more). 80 pages illustrated 7¼x 10 softcover.
