Heroes
in Dungarees: The Story of the American Merchant Marine in World War II
by John Bunker
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.
