PT 109 An American Epic of War Survival and the Destiny of John F. Kennedy The book "PT 109: An American Epic of War Survival and the Destiny of John F. Kennedy" tells the story of one of the most dramatic events of World War II - the sinking of the patrol torpedo boat PT-109 by the Japanese navy in the Pacific Ocean in 1942, and the fate of its crew, including the future President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. The book describes how the crew of the ship managed to survive in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by enemies, and how they were rescued after several days of struggle for life. The book begins with the introduction of the crew of PT-109, which included young sailors from different parts of the United States, led by Lieutenant John F. Kennedy. The crew was sent on a mission to the island of Rabaul, where they had to conduct reconnaissance and attack enemy ships. However, during the night of August 1, 1942, the ship was attacked by Japanese destroyers, and after a fierce battle, it sank, leaving the crew adrift in the ocean. The author of the book, Robert Burke, uses vivid descriptions of the events that took place during those fateful days, based on the diaries of the crew members and other historical sources. He describes how the crew fought against the elements, hunger, and thirst, while trying to stay alive and wait for rescue. The story is full of dramatic moments, such as when the crew had to swim for hours to reach a nearby island, or when they had to drink their own urine to quench their thirst.
PT 109 American Epic of War Survival and the Destiny of John F. Kennedy The book PT 109: An American Epic of War Survival and the Destiny of John F. Kennedy (неопр.) (недоступная ссылка). рассказывает историю одного из самых драматичных событий Второй мировой войны - гибели в PT-109 году 1942 японским флотом в Тихом океане патрульного торпедного катера, и судьбы его экипажа, в том числе будущего президента США Джона Кеннеди. В книге описывается, как экипажу корабля удалось выжить посреди океана, в окружении врагов, и как их спасли после нескольких дней борьбы за жизнь. Книга начинается с представления экипажа PT-109, в который входили молодые моряки из разных частей США во главе с лейтенантом Джоном Кеннеди. Экипаж был отправлен с заданием на остров Рабаул, где должен был вести разведку и атаковать корабли противника. Однако в течение ночи 1 августа 1942 года корабль был атакован японскими эсминцами, и после ожесточённого боя затонул, оставив экипаж на плаву в океане. Автор книги Роберт Берк использует яркие описания событий, произошедших в те роковые дни, основанные на дневниках членов экипажа и других исторических источниках. Он описывает, как экипаж боролся со стихией, голодом и жаждой, пытаясь при этом остаться в живых и дождаться спасения. История полна драматических моментов, например, когда экипажу приходилось часами плавать, чтобы добраться до соседнего острова, или когда им приходилось пить собственную мочу, чтобы утолить жажду.

(collegamento non disponibile). racconta la storia di uno degli eventi più drammatici della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, la morte nel 1942 nel PT-109 da parte della marina giapponese nell'Oceano Pacifico di un siluro di pattuglia, e il destino del suo equipaggio, incluso il futuro presidente degli Stati Uniti, JFK. Il libro descrive come l'equipaggio della nave sia sopravvissuto in mezzo all'oceano, circondato dai nemici, e come sia stato salvato dopo giorni di lotta per la vita. Il libro inizia con una rappresentazione dell'equipaggio PT-109, che comprendeva giovani marinai provenienti da diverse parti degli Stati Uniti, guidati dal tenente JFK. L'equipaggio è stato inviato in missione a Rabaul Island, dove avrebbe dovuto esplorare e attaccare le navi nemiche. Nel corso della notte del 1 agosto del 1942, però, la nave fu attaccata dai cacciatorpedinieri giapponesi, e dopo una violenta battaglia affondò, lasciando l'equipaggio a galla nell'oceano. L'autore Robert Burke si avvale di una descrizione vivace degli eventi avvenuti in quei giorni fatali, basati sui diari dei membri dell'equipaggio e di altre fonti storiche. Descrive come l'equipaggio abbia combattuto gli elementi, la fame e la sete, cercando di rimanere vivo e aspettare la salvezza. La storia è piena di momenti drammatici, come quando l'equipaggio ha dovuto nuotare per ore per raggiungere un'isola vicina, o quando ha dovuto bere la propria urina per affamare la sete.
