Summary: American Light Crusiers at War!
Rating: 4

During World War II, U.S. Navy light cruisers were jacks-of-all trades but were also often forced to take on the role of heavy cruisers due to the warship losses incurred at Pearl Harbor. Al Adcock looks at the six classes of light cruisers that saw action in this nicely done Squadron/Signal publication from 1999. After an introductory chapter on the development of light cuisers in the USN, Adcock examines the ships found in each of the six classes: Omaha, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Cleveland, St. Louis and Worcester. These ships - bearing such illustrious names as Raleigh, Marblehead, Nashville, Birmingham, Juneau and Oklahoma City - compiled a great combat record, seeing extensive combat not only in WWII. Some also took part in the Korean fighting and even the Vietnam War! 'Warships Number 12' fills its 50 pages with concise and entertaining information, dozens of b&w photographs including many detail shots and Don Greer color artwork. Greer's back cover depiction of USS Juneau in action is a great piece of artwork! Naval buffs will enjoy U.S. LIGHT CRUISERS IN ACTION. It's great value for the price! Recommended.
