Another LST book, but one with a closer tie. Gardnar Mulloy was the “skipper” for LST 32, my Dad’s LST. The book is really a collection of many antedotes. Mulloy’s real claim to fame was in Tennis where he won Wimbledon, Davis cups, and much more. There are several sections that talk about WW II and the LST 32 which were the most meaningful to me.
