This book is the first to tell the full story of the USS Edsall, a WWI-era destroyer that disappeared on a mission to Java on March 1, 1942. Drawing on exhaustive research, military historian Donald Kehn investigates not only the Edsall’s mysterious final action, but also her wide-ranging pre-war career and the curious uses to which her story was put—first by the pre-war U.S. Navy and then by the Japanese wartime propaganda machine. Redressing six decades of official neglect, his account recovers a significant chapter missing from the history of World War II and tells a long-overdue story of courage and tragic loss.
