Description
On August 2, 1943, John Kennedy's PT 109 boat and two others were on a night mission to ambush an enemy supply convoy when they were surprised by a massive Japanese destroyer. The unsuspecting Americans had only seconds to react as the Japanese captain turned his ship to ram directly into Kennedy's. PT 109 was cut in half by the collision, killing two of Kennedy's 12 crewmen and wounding several others in the explosion ... This book tells the ... story of what happened next as JFK fought to save his surviving crew members who found themselves adrift in enemy waters.
