Still reading but a great book. I actually had the privilege to meet Bud once in St Thomas, USVI. He and his wife and another couple were renting a bareboat from the charter fleet my wife and I managed back in the late 80's. What a gentleman! He was quiet, humble and, very relaxed. His friend was the one who alerted me to his past PT service. I was in awe. Thanks to all of that greatest generation who saved my freedom.Product details

FIRST UP
Carney was lucky, and had the advantage of the key participants of PT 157 to tell a story that in a few years may have been lost.
The story of these brave Americans in the early war in the Pacific was waiting to be told and Carney did the job very well indeed. He may have achieve new directions for the telling of this kind of story with an overabundence of supporting back-up material that also may soon be lost ,or forgotten-and left us with a fine model of how a book of this type should be done.
