Focusing on Lt. Commander Harry F. Bauer and Mess Attendant Charles J. French—two men from opposite ranks—Avriett captures their courage and resilience as they faced unrelenting battles to transport Marine Raiders. Through vivid storytelling, this book honors the ship's brave crew and reminds us that valor knows no rank or color, only dedication and courage. Brought to you by a member partner.
