Provides a comprehensive critical analysis of a vessel long
neglected by naval scholars - Highlights the involvement that FDR,
Douglas MacArthur, John F. Kennedy, and others had with the PT
Hunters in the Shallows examines the development of the small
torpedo boat in U.S. naval history from Lt. William Cushing's
heroic Civil War attack on the Confederate ram Albemarle in 1864 in
a forerunner of the PT to the type's zenith in World War II. Curtis
L. Nelson takes readers inside the scandalous 1939 Elco deal to
manufacture PTs, describes Gen. Douglas MacArthur's dramatic escape
from Corregidor via PT in 1942, and assesses the sinking of John F.
Kennedy's PT-109 off the Solomon Islands in 1943.
