Publisher's Synopsis

Rescuing JFK is the story of the PT-109's dramatic rescue in World War II - told from the perspective of the two Solomon Islands Scouts who saved the crew. In this story, future president John F. Kennedy's boat (PT-109) is rammed by a Japanese destroyer and sunk during World War II. Two young Solomon Islanders, Scouts for the Australian Royal Navy's Coastwatchers, rescue the crew in a daring adventure that shaped Kennedy's (and America's) future. The heroic deeds of Biuku Gasa, Aaron Kumana had a long-lasting effect on American history.
