Warrior Queens The Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth in World War II

Converted from luxury liners to troopships at the outset of World War II, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth logged over a million nautical miles and carried more than a million military personnel. Drawing from both published sources and Cunard's official archives, the archives and records of the British Admiralty and the U.S. Navy, and the firsthand recollections of soldiers, seamen, and war brides, author Daniel Allen Butler brings this unique aspect of World War II history to life by recounting the histories of the two Queens along with the stories of the soldiers and sailors who served or sailed on them.Butler, Daniel Allen is the author of 'Warrior Queens The Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth in World War II', published 2002 under ISBN 9780811716451 and ISBN 0811716457.
