MY FIRST BATTLESHIP

 



USS MISSOURI (BB-63) arrived in Istanbul 5-9 April, 1946

Gunboat Diplomacy: Turkey, USA and the Advent of the Cold War 


This visit was not to welcome me to the world. It was almost two years after my arrival. 

But, it was the beginning of political and military activity which dominated the first  thirty years of my educational and social life.
