A Sailor's Story: The Life and World War II Experiences of Robert F Schulte (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781420807608)

Sinking German U Boats doing convoy duty aboard a battleship in the North Atlantic prior to the start of World War II and ending with Kamikaze attacks while landing troops with an LCI at Leyte Gulf in the Philippines covers the scope of this book. Included in between are the bombardment of Makin Island, Tarawa, Majuro, New Guinea and the invasion of the Aleutians early in the war. Landings at Mariveles Bay, Mindanao, and Ormoc Bay are also included. The book begins with a nostalgic look at growing up in a medium size mid western city that brings back a lot of memories to Baby Boomers and ends with everybody's idea of the ideal retirement.
