-ABOUT THE BOOK: In July 1941 Winston Churchill sent a telegram to Franklin Roosevelt stating that in the fight to save the world from the Nazis it would be necessary not only to have great numbers of tanks but also to have sea-going vessels capable of landing them directly onto the beaches of Europe. Soon thereafter the Landing Ship Tank was designed, and by late 1942, there were LSTs of the U.S. Navy afloat and active in the war effort. This clumsy, unsightly vessel became one of the most important warships in the Allied effort to victory in World War II.
High and Dry on the Beach tells the history of one of those ships. From a diary written by a crew member and other eye-witness accounts, this is the tale of what it was like to participate in World War II as a crewmember of an LST. Photographs taken on that ship and from many other sources shed light on the experience of fighting the war in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Normandy on an LST.
