The Seas That Mourn

In 1942 alone, German U-Boats sank almost four million gross registered tons of Allied ships convoying goods and war supplies to the war ravaged European continent, Britain and North Africa. That same year, 17-year old Jimmy Kindall leaves his small Mississippi town to join the Merchant Marine. He soon discovers that supplying the troops in unprotected waters exposes him to some of the fiercest battles in WWII.

The Seas That Mourn is a riveting story of the unsung heroes who navigated dangerous waters and perilous conditions to provide American and Allied troops with critical supplies of ammunition, fuel and goods. These sailors, often overlooked and even belittled for their service, were key in turning the tide of the war.
