For the courageous PT men to have any hope to come back alive, it is imperative that each of the boats carry out its assigned duty in perfect progression within the carefully-timed sequences of "OPERATION SIDEWINDER?, the superb battle plan that is the subject of this book. With ever-increasing pace the story interweaves the diverse features of their brilliantly-conceived battle plan with actual photos, events, places, dates and major figures of that historic time.
