This book tells the remarkable story of a battleship, its brave crew, and how their lives were intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeff Phister and his coauthors have written the comprehensive history of the USS \u003cem\u003eOklahoma\u003c\/em\u003e from its christening in 1914 to its final loss in 1947. Phister tells how the \u003cem\u003eOklahoma\u003c\/em\u003e served in World War I, participated in the Great Cruise of 1925, and evacuated refugees from Spain in 1936. But the most memorable event of the ship's history occurred on December 7, 1941.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhister weaves the personal narratives of surviving crewmen with the necessary technical information to recreate the attack and demonstrate the full scope of its devastation.
