Loosely-organized in fast moving squadrons, PT (patrol torpedo) boats were the pesky nemesis of the formidable Japanese navy, dubbed "the mosquito fleet" and "devil boats" for their daring raids against warships, tankers, and transport ships. After the Pearl Harbor raid plunges America into war, young surgical resident Lincoln Anderson enlists in the Navy medical corps. His first deployment comes in August 1942 at Guadalcanal, when after a brutal sea battle and the landing of Marines on the island, Anderson finds himself triaging hundreds of casualties under relentless Japanese air and land attacks. But with the navy short of doctors, soon Anderson is transferred to serve aboard a PT boat. From Guadalcanal to the Solomon Islands to the climactic, tide-turning battle of Leyte Gulf, Anderson and the crew members of his boat confront submarines and surface ships, are attacked from air by the dreaded Kawanishi flying boats, and hunted by destroyers. In the end, Anderson must lead a division of boats in a seemingly-impossible mission against a Japanese battleship formation-and learn the true nature of his character. Informed by P. T. Deutermann's own experience as a commander of a patrol gunboat in Vietnam, The Hooligans is first-rate military adventure fiction"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked out 05/21/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Deutermann Historical Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Deutermann   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
