Opis

Waddling to War is the story of a skylarking sailor''s two years in the "Navy during World War 11. The focus is on the experiences aboard LST (Landing Ship Tank) 334 and its journey from Pittsburgh to the Invasion of Okinawa and on to China, a highly circuitous trip fraught with a million problems. A seaman when he entered the Navy, a seaman when he was discharged from the Navy, Bob Shannon was, indeed, a sorry sailor. The story is funny, tragic, and revealing.
