"Paul Stillwell tells Battleship New Jersey's story in the crew's own words thanks to his incredible collection of oral history interviews, collected over the last 40 years. This long-awaited updated edition, which includes, for the first time, the closing years of the ship's active career and first years of her second life as a museum and memorial, is a must have for battleship enthusiasts and will be a permanent fixture on my desk at the museum."— Ryan Szimanski, Curator, Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial
