Title: Better than Brokaw
Review: If you liked Tom Brokaw's book, you are going to love this one! It's a fascinating true story about an amazing bunch of hard-working volunteer World War II veterans who are keeping one of the last two Liberty Ships, once a life-line for winning the war, in sea-worthy condition while docked in a Baltimore, Maryland harbor.The author is a journalist and newspaper editor who has been working on the ship with these guys since he retired in 1999. He weaves together dozens of their personal stories involving World War II experiences, interesting facts about the important role of the Liberty Ships in World War II, and what they've been doing to save this one.For anyone who wants to know more about what it was really like during the war, read this book. The author's informal writing style is very easy to take--a bit like putting on your most comfortable old pair of shoes, sitting in a rocking chair and chatting with a good friend.
