Brown and of the Merchant Marine and Navy Armed Guard crews who manned the ship.

This book is based on logs, official documents, and reports in the National Archives, on the collection of unpublished Navy administrative histories in the Navy Department library, and on diaries, letters, and recollections of men who sailed on the Brown. The insights derived from the author's interviews and correspondence with a number of the Brown's wartime Merchant and Navy Armed Guard crewmen add a personal dimension to the narrative. A fine collection of photographs supplements the text. Illustrated with photos.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
