Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative chronicles the USS Marblehead's harrowing experience during a fierce battle in the Dutch East Indies on February 4, 1942. After sustaining severe damage from enemy bombers, the crew's resilience shines as they fight fires and assist the wounded. The ship's unofficial motto, "Battered but never broken," encapsulates their spirit. George Sessions Perry's poignant writing captures the Marblehead's remarkable 16,000-mile journey back to America, blending tragedy and triumph in a compelling war account.
