Description:Vice Admiral John L. McCrea worked with the president of the United States on difficult and unusual assignments, associated with royalty and world-famous political and military leaders, and commanded the USS "Iowa" and a task force in the Pacific. Over the years, many urged him to write a book, and before his passing he finally recorded his reminiscences. "Captain McCrea s War" captures his amazing tales from the World War II years.After the US entered the war, McCrea served as a naval aide to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, where he set up the White House Map Room (later known as the Situation Room) and Shangri-La (now called Camp David). He supplied material for the president s fireside chats, helped arrange the Casablanca Conference, and worked with such prominent leaders as Winston Churchill, Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, and General Douglas MacArthur.Despite his important work for the president, McCrea yearned for active service. Persuading FDR to release him from Washington, he was given command of the USS "Iowa," the country s newest and largest battleship. The ship fought in the Pacific as part of the Fast Carrier Task Force during the last two years of the war.
