It tells it all.

The book pretty much covered the entire life of the ship up to the early 1990's. Her WW2 operational period gets the most coverage. A lot of this section of the book deals with the trials and tribulations of the crew as the ship traveled the world from the action of D-Day to the Pacific. The lay up fleet information is interesting as well as the restoration project. There are some pretty good photos of her and other Liberty ships. There are a few drawings included and an excellent description of her equipment. The book stops just before the 50th Aniv. of D-day. To get the rest of the story you have to buy "Appointment in Normandy". The only thing I can think of that would have made it a 5 star book would have been more photos.
