Product Information
In the dark days of World War II, merchant mariners made heroic contributions to the eventual Allied victory and suffered tremendous casualties in so doing. Among these were the engineers who toiled deep in the bowels of the ship and suffered appalling casualties. After the war, engineering personnel were unlikely to talk about their experiences, let alone write them down. These modest and self-effacing men were more comfortable in a world of turbines and pistons, so they seldom brought their stories forward. Liberty's War sets out to explore the experiences of one such engineer, Herman Melton, from his time as a cadet at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy through his experiences at sea as a third assistant engineer. Melton's story is representative of the thousands of Merchant Marine engineers who served on board Liberty ships during the war. Like many young Americans, he sought to do his part, and in 1942 he obtained an appointment to the newly created U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York. After graduating from the academy in 1944, he shipped out to the Pacific Theatre, surviving the sinking of his Liberty ship, the SS Antoine Saugrain , and its top-secret cargo.

Reviews
" Liberty's War is worth reading on several levels: a memoir, an adventure, and underreported history." The Daily News, " Liberty's War is very much worth reading by those who are interested in the Merchant Marine or World War II memoirs. It is a rare example of a junior officers' memoire that is informative and readable, giving us a detailed view of life on Liberty Ships hunted by U-boats, tossed about by Arctic gales and heavy seas, and attacked by Japanese aircraft. Recommended as a primary source and popular history." -- Naval Historical Foundation, "Liberty's War is very much worth reading by those who are interested in the Merchant Marine or World War II memoirs.

It's fascinating!" --WTBF AM/FM "Liberty's War is worth reading on several levels: a memoir, an adventure, and underreported history." --The Daily News "Liberty's War lives up to the merchant mariners' motto, 'We'll Deliver.' Melton's memoir of his career as a cadet at the fledgling U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and as a wartime merchant mariner is written with a frankness that belies the wrenching uncertainty that must have gripped his generation. The mixture of terrifying experiences aboard and alongside Liberty ships from Murmansk to the Philippines and pranks, hasty cross-country treks on leave, and marriage are a refreshing reminder that life goes on, as it must--and that the cost of freedom is paid by the many, not a few." --Lincoln Paine, author of The Sea and Civilization: A Maritime History of the World, Libertys War is very much worth reading by those who are interested in the Merchant Marine or World War II memoirs.
