Engineer Amphibious Units

Da amerikanske hær trådte ind i krigen var det blandt andet med dens enorme landgangsoperationer. Bogen fortæller om amfibie-begrebets historie, om de mænd der udviklede fartøjet, og om arbejdet for de mænd der skulle bruge det i praksis: amfibie-ingeniørerne. Der fortælles om strabadserne på steder som Sicilien, Normandiet, Okinawa og på andre lokaliteter i Stillehavsområdet.
