Book Reviews of Collision With History: The Search for John F. Kennedy's PT 109

Book Review: Searching for PT109
Summary: 4 Stars

Coffee-table history of Kennedy's crash of the PT109 during WWII. Good photography and high-level narrative history, nothing earth-shattering. This makes good background reading for Homer Hickam's fiction The Ambassador's Son (Josh Thurlow Series #2), and in fact with this book published in 2002 and Hickam's in 2005 it seems that some of Hickam's historical material may have come from here.
