Publisher's Synopsis
Service of freedom for all-this is what Domini Zappia upholds in his life. Serving his country by signing up for the navy when he was merely eighteen wasn't just out of necessity. He joined the navy for patriotism. The Anchor is an autobiography of Zappia narrating his life as a sailor of the Italian extraction. This book will bring you back to the devastation brought by WWII. From all his trips to the United States, the Panama Canal, Swansea, Wales, Japan, and all other places he was assigned, Zappia deliberately narrates in his book the struggles and success that he and his mates have experienced. Through his journeys, he was able to join naval ships, carriers, and even witnessed the D-day landing at Ohama Beach.
