Bob Carlson joined us by phone this morning just after the 8:30 news to talk about a new book available about Captain McCrea, the first Captain of the USS Iowa. The book is called "Captain McCrea's War" and is written by Julia C. Tobey. Julia is the step-daughter of Captain McCrea and she used tapes he made while in the Navy to write the book. Capt. McCrea was born in 1891 in Michigan and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1915. He was on many ships before the USS Iowa. Bob says the book will make you laugh and cry! You can find the book in bookstores or on Amazon.
