John J. Domagalski (pacificwarauthor.com) is the author of several books about World War II in the Pacific'. Under a Blood Red Sun: The Remarkable Story of PT Boats in the Philippines and the Rescue of General MacArthur' tells the story a group of American sailors trapped in the Philippines during the early days of the Pacific War. 'Into the Dark Water: The Story of Three Officers and PT-109' uses the stories of three young naval officers to tell the World War II saga of the warship made famous by John F. Kennedy.His fascination with history began at a young age by building model ships and reading books about World War II. The interest eventually grew into research and writing. He has interviewed dozens of World War II veterans. Domagalski is a graduate of Northern Illinois University and lives near Chicago.
This book takes the reader all throughout the USS Marblehead as the story unfolds - next to gunners toiling to keep their guns firing, with medical staff tending to the wounded, and alongside damage control sailors working in flooded compartments.
