Title: A Strange Whim of the Sea Author: Tim Loughman Narrator: Tom Perkins Format: mp3 Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Release date: 11-15-22 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Ships & Shipbuilding Publisher's Summary: This book traces the lives of the Macaw and her enigmatic captain, from birth on San Francisco Bay to death at Midway. Ultimately, for Paul Burton and the Macaw the real enemy was the sea, and in a deadly denouement told here in riveting detail, the sea won. Highlighting the underreported role auxiliary vessels played in the war, A Strange Whim of the Sea should engage the military historian and layperson alike with the previously untold story it tells of struggle, sacrifice, death, and survival in the Pacific in World War II.
