The Sinking of PT-109
Why would Lt. John F Kennedy stop his Torpedo Boat (PT-109) in the midst of the hazardous Japanese shipping lanes known as the Tokyo Express, where it would be sunk by a collision with a Japanese destroyer? And why, despite the fact that General MacArthur wanted him court-martialed, was he instead later awarded a Medal for this action?

PT109 was wonderful
I saw the movie a long time ago and I don't remember anything about Peter Sharkey. But that was a long time ago. I sat and cried when Jack saw him. Everyone thought he was dead, included me. This true story was so wonderful.

Straightforward
Easy reading straightforward telling of an historical event. Not sure why it is called a novel as it doesn't appear to be much different from facts learned years ago. Good introduction to one event in life of a future president.
