Vintage 1959 book of the month club book with dust jacket. Embossed stamp of previous owner on title page. Dust jacket is damaged and wear on cover. Damage to top of cover on spine (see pic).

"Written by the naval historian Samuel Eliot Morison, this Pulitzer prize-winning book is widely recognized as the only authoritative, modern biography of the naval officer frequently referred to as the father of the U.S. Navy." (per Google books)

All in all a wonderful addition for the collector.
