Synopsis "At War on the Laffey: An Officer's Memoirs (in English)"
During World War II, a destroyer known as the USS Laffey served with the US Navy in protecting her troops at Normandy and at Okinawa. The ship's radio officer Joseph Ford Cain served proudly on board during that time. In later years, he shared his experience with his grandchildren about the horrors and the excitement he witnessed during the attacks of the kamikaze on the Laffey, that would later become known as "the ship that would not die" as she held her own against the attacks. Now, his grandson, author Kevin Cain, has memorialized Joseph's stories aboard the Laffey in this memoir. Complete with current photos of the Laffey as she appears today and the inside of the ship as seen on the tours taken aboard the ship where she now rests in Patriot's Point in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, this book will take you on the adventure of Joseph and the Laffey and give you a front-seat look at what he saw in the war. From the early testing of Laffey's abilities to the battle at Normandy and finally in Okinawa, you will experience the action and tragedies of Laffey's battles in Word War II as witnessed first-hand by Laffey's radio officer.
