Yet historian Donald Miller calls it 'as important to victory over Japan as the Normandy invasion was to victory over Germany.' For the Americans, defeating the Japanese came at a high price. In the words of a Time magazine correspondent, Saipan was 'war at its grimmest.' On the night of July 17, 1944, as Admirals Ernest King and Chester Nimitz were celebrating the battle's end, the Port Chicago Naval Ammunition Depot, just thirty-five miles northeast of San Francisco, exploded with a force nearly that of an atomic bomb. The men who died in the blast were predominantly black sailors. They toiled in obscurity loading munitions ships with ordnance essential to the U.S. victory in Saipan. Yet instead of honoring the sacrifice these men made for their country, the Navy blamed them for the accident, and when they refused to handle ammunition again, launched the largest mutiny trial in U.S. naval history" -- from publisher's web site. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Port Chicago Mutiny, Port Chicago, Calif., 1944. 650 0 $a Port Chicago Mutiny Trial, San Francisco, Calif., 1944. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, African American. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z New Guinea. 650 0 $a Audio books. 700 1 $a Hoye, Stephen. $4 nrt 710 2 $a Tantor Media, Inc. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110045631.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=381AA5400AF111E39305B8A1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
