D-Days in the Pacific with the U.S. Coast Guard

Prior to reading this book I was vaguely aware that the U.S. Coast Guard did important things during WW2, but wasn't sure exactly what. This book brushed away that vagueness. When it comes to operating small boats in costal areas, who else would you turn to but those who specialize in such things? The Coast Guard of course!
Ken Wiley's book is a well-told war story and coming of age story.
Solid 4 stars.
