More Than Scuttlebutt The U.S. Navy Demolition Men in WW II

the long version

Detailing operations in Europe and the Pacific, More Than Scuttlebutt is the most thorough report to date, including a verified list of more than 4,000 men who served in storied units. Illustrated with over 500 photos, and many years in the making, it is the culmination of a concentrated effort to record a complex era in naval amphibious history, giving due recognition to unit activity, large and small, plus a revealing window on little-known work of the Demolition Research Unit that supported the men in the field, and the Joint Army Navy Experimental Testing Board.
