Samuel Eliot Morison sat down to tell the whole story of Harvard informally and briefly, with the same genial humor and ability to see the human implications of past events that characterize his larger, multi-volume series on Harvard.
Morison here traces the roots of American universities in Europe, as they have perhaps never been traced before; and with mellow erudition, frequent flashes of wit, and a lively contemporary perspective, he sketches in a realistic picture of the founding of the first American university north of the Rio Grande.
Volume II: Operations in North African Waters, October 1942-June 1943 covers naval operations on the Atlantic coast of North Africa and in the Mediterranean. Morison focuses especially on "Operation Torch," the all-American effort to capture bases in French Morocco, thereby opening up a second front to relieve the Russians.
