U.S. Merchant Vessel War Casualties of World War II

by Robert M. Browning Jr.

The battle to control the world's numerous sea routes during World War II was the longest and most decisive of all the war's struggles, but the role played by America's merchant marine in this contest has been largely forgotten. This book provides a complete account of the American-flagged merchant vessels that were lost or suffered war damage and documents attacks on these ships.
