Summary

"The 20 World War II Merchant Marine veterans featured in this oral history served in all theaters of war. Most had at least one ship torpedoed, bombed, shelled or mined out from under them. Some became prisoners of the Japanese for the duration of the war. Many spent time on lifeboats or flimsy rafts under harsh conditions"--, Provided by publisher
