The BiblioFiles: Morison's Landmark History of the US Navy in WWII

Samuel Eliot Morison's 15-volume work History of the United States Naval Operations in World War II is now being reissued! Put it on your to-read list, along with all of Morison's other books.  I especially liked Admiral of the Ocean Sea, his Pulitzer-winning biography of Columbus.  The amazing thing about Morison isn't the scope of his knowledge, though it is massive.  The amazing thing is how a good a writer he is.  Modern academic historians should take note!
