The men's stories include eye witness accounts of Pearl Harbor, Exercise Tiger, the West Loch tragedy, Leyte , and kamikaze attacks. There is also a chapter on the Korean War LSTs.

by Anita Hackley-Lambert
Anita Hackley-Lambert calls her fine study of an early twentieth-century civil rights activist the 'First Biography of a Forgotten Pioneer for Civil Justice'. F. H. M. Murray is not likely to be numbered among the forgotten now that his quiet courage and significant contribution to the struggle for racial justice have been ably recounted in this biography. -- David Levering Lewis
A compelling biography one of America’s unique and most diverse civil rights activists in the history of the United States, especially highlighting the lives of Blacks like Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, William Monroe Trotter, Ida B. Wells and others from the twentieth century. This is a must read for history enthusiasts.
