Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A World War II merchant seaman, John Bunker takes a thorough look at the American merchant marines' significant contributions to the war effort. There are plenty of fascinating facts about their extensive supply operations, but the focus of the book is on the men and their often-heroic actions. Bunker draws from his own experiences to describe the action at sea and also includes the personal stories of many other civilian participants. It is an engaging portrayal of the courage, bravery, and ingenuity demonstrated by these merchant seamen. All theaters of operation using U.S. merchant ships are covered; in addition, Bunker provides information on events before the country entered the war when efforts were being made to build more ships and to recruit the men necessary to crew the huge fleet.

Book excerpt: Woody, Cisco and Me is a must read romp, reading like a novel, that gives the reader rare insight into World War II experiences in the Merchant Marine with Woody Guthrie, his folksinging friend Cisco Houston, and Jim Longhi, who was shamed by Woody and Cisco into joining with them. Brilliantly told - with pathos and humor - it is an irresitible story of bravery and hardship, sacrifice and boredom, and life and death, appealing not only to folk music fans, but to those interested in tales of World War II adventures as well.
