"PT 109" by William Doyle, (Oct. 2015), 330 pgs.This book immediately conjures up a comparison with "PT 109" (220 pages) written by Robert Donovan in late 1961.I remember reading that book in 1966 and wrote to Mr. Donovan in my search to learn whether or not he had addresses of several of the individuals involved with either the sinking of PT 109 or the rescue of its crew members: Cpt. K. Yamashiro (senior officer aboard the Amagiri that crushed PT 109), Cpt. T. Hara (captain of the Shigure and who directed machine-gun firing at the sinking PT 109), coast-watcher Reg Evans, and islanders Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana (who located Kennedy and suggested that he write a rescue-needed message on a coconut husk) -- all of whom I eventually contacted and receive autographed letters or photographs from (including a 9-page account written by Kumana about his discovery of Lt. John F. Kennedy).Doyle describes well the basic story of PT 109's sinking, Kennedy's swimming in search of help, his encounter with the islanders, and the writing of the coconut message -- all covered well already by Donovan in his earlier book.However, Doyle is able to provide additional details about the ship's sinking and rescue by his recent discovery of several after-actions reports written by Kennedy and others -- that were not known to Donovan. A reader might ask: "Heck, after an event as minor as a PT boat being crushed by a destroyer during WWII, what more could be learned from this six-day trial of sea survival?" Well, as the book's dustcover noted: "Drawing on original interviews with the last living links to the events, previously untapped Japanese wartime archives, and a wealth of archival documents from the Kennedy Library, including a lost first-hand account by JFK himself" author Doyle has enhanced our knowledge of this harrowing military adventure. Specifically, the author conducted new interviews with Kennedy's shipmates, and the author had his Japanese-speaking wife research and translate a couple of Japanese newspapers that reported on this "battle", as well as translate a couple of Japanese naval documents relating to this naval engagement. More interesting tidbits, but they don't change the "basic picture."Doyle notes that Kennedy was upset that no search-and-rescue operations were not immediately initiated --except "Several New Zealand P-40 fighter aircraft flew in search of PT 109... spotted boat wreckage, but no survivors were visible" (p. 134). And his superior, Commander Warfield, believing that all crew members had been killed during the sinking, decided not to send out a search mission that might jeopardize the lives of other PT rescuers (p. 132).Besides recounting how Kennedy joined the navy, became a PT boat commander, was injured during his ship's destruction, and swam in search of help, Doyle expand's upon Donovan's work by noting in more detail how Kennedy used his "war hero" survival story to strengthen his bid in campaigning for his future political wins as a congressman, senator and finally President.Although Doyle's book highlights the bravery of Kennedy in trying to organize the survival of his crew after his ship's sinking, Doyle does present some criticism by those who question Kennedy's judgement in idling his boat's engines to quiet them to hear better in his search for Japanese ships.After winning his congressional race, Kennedy tried to contact Cpt. K. Hanami (who had ordered his ship to ram Kennedy's) during a trip to Japan in Nov. 1951, but wasn't successful -- due to perhaps a bout with Addison's disease (p. 218) -- which he tried to keep hidden from the public as he felt it might hurt his political career.While there is no specific "Bibliography" section, Doyle has a "Notes and Sources" section, whereby he cites his sources. Doyle also explains that he found new accounts to draw upon to expand our knowledge of the basic event (p. xvi-xvii).If you've already read Donovan's book or Wikipedia articles, you know the basics of Kennedy's PT 109 story. Nonetheless, while not changing the basic story, Doyle offers new details, but more importantly, provides a most informative analysis how that sinking contributed significantly in developing and furthering Kennedy's political career -- and how his father (Joe Sr.) and his brother (Robert) cajoled others to write "war hero" stories to enhance John's political career.
This book is a well-researched historical document that reads like a novel, at least it did for me, but then I have always had a special interest in JFK and World War 2. Before reading this book, I had watched the PT-109 movie countless times, read the book directly connected to it, watched the National Geographic special on PT-109 and had visited the JFK Library. Yes, I have seen the coconut! Where this book differs, is it tell us the whole story. The book starts with how and why JFK joined the Navy, proceeds to tell the PT-109 story and then discusses how it impacted Kennedy's political career up until his untimely assassination.The book discusses the sinking and survival of the PT-109 in great detail, based on interviews with actual participants, including the Captain of the Japanese destroyer which rammed PT-109. As you may remember, Kennedy would swim out into the ocean at night, leaving the island hiding place and his crew, in an attempt to attract the attention of patrolling PT boats with a battle lantern. During an interview with one of the PT boat commanders that served with Kennedy, the author asks what PT boats would have done if they saw an unidentified swimmer in the water at night. He responded that they would have open fired with everything they had and then investigated. The commander asks if Kennedy would have been aware of their response and he indicates that Kennedy would have. This action suggests that Kennedy knew that even if he attracted help, he would be sacrificing his life for his crew. That makes his actions even more courageous than what he has been recognized for doing.The book follows up with the rescue of Kennedy and his crew and their life after the rescue. It discusses the role of the PT-109 story in Kennedy's political life.If you have an interest in John F. Kennedy or World War 2, you will enjoy this books.
I have read Donovans and Tregaskis books and other info on PT boats. I have found this upgrade both enlightening and informative. It goes into more of the boyish heroics and into the real meat of the incident and its ramifications. Kennedy, a spoiled,rich kid whose dad covered everything, went to,real,war and saved his crew after a disaster not of his making. His leadership, example and direction saved the crew from themselves. He gave them leadership and hope of survival. Setting an example for,all to,see and emulate. His father, joe, seeking political gain played it up,big and the quiet troublesome Jack, rolled with it especially after Joe Jr. death. Papa Joe maneuvered and milked PT 109 to,the last drop. It did make Jack Kennedy and made him President! He was not that impressed, but went along to keep Joe happy! The book does not mention Gen McArthur and is opinion about court-martialing Jack? Dugout Doug was an enemy of Joe Sr so would do,anything to,hurt him including court-martialing his son! Joe Sr pushed for a higher medal but was overruled! The book shines a light on all sides of the incident and is a well written read. The pictures include a few never seen before especially the PT 59. A failed experiment but later in the Philippines and other ares, the lighter Mk 13 , torpedoes were used and the guns were heavier in caliber and number so the 59 boat did succeed!
Best non-fiction read in a long time. I'm no scholar but I've read several books on JFK and felt I knew him a bit better after finishing this book. One thing that really struck me was the danger of his long distance swims. I knew the story from previous reads but in this author's work the man's courage and determination just jump off the page at you. No spoiler but there is also a really touching Secret Service story that goes volumes towards letting the reader imagine JFK the man. Highly recommended.
