I think I read that book or one very similar back in college for a WWII history course
It is a great book. The courage of those Destroyer Captains to charge straight at a fleet of Battleships and Cruisers is astounding.

Happy Birthday, Johnny Carson!

Johnny Carson was a pioneer who understood the power of entertainment and storytelling. His vision continues to inspire the next generation of creative innovators at Nebraska.

Through the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts and Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film, students bring together creativity, technology and storytelling to explore new possibilities. It’s a fitting tribute to a Husker whose career helped shape the future of television.

On his birthday, we celebrate Johnny Carson’s enduring influence on the arts at Nebraska and the students carrying that spirit forward.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 

The United Nations Is Formally Established (1945)
The United Nations (UN) is an international organization founded to promote peace, security, and economic development. Representatives from the US, the UK, the Soviet Union, and China first met in 1944 to discuss the problems involved in creating such an agency, and the results of their talks became the basis for the UN Charter that was ratified in 1945. Established immediately after WWII, it replaced the essentially powerless League of Nations.
