About the Book

LSTs, the amphibious landing ships, or Long, Slow Targets - as the men who sailed on them referred to their ships - were a key ingredient in the Allies' victory in World War 2. From the beaches of Normandy, North Africa, Italy and the island fortresses of the Pacific, these lumbering ships delivered the troops and their weapons and supplies where they were needed. In telling the story of LST 920, author Mike Botula pays a tribute to his father, Lieutenant Charles Botula, Jr who served as the 920's second in command as well as the other sailors who helped win the ultimate victory. Included is the back story of the LST 920s mission, including the LST 920s captain, Harry Schultz who defied orders in order to save the lives of men from an LST torpedoed by an enemy U-boat. It's also the story about the challenges facing an America family during the greatest war that the world has ever seen.
