A review
here. Available at major book sellers and your local library.
Although I agree with most of what Mr. Sears
had to say
about the events of April 1st and LST-884, I believe there might have
been some research issues as to whom was killed in the initial attack
based on the
deck logs of that day and that all crew was accounted for.
