William Doyle | PT 109: An American Epic of War, Survival, and the Destiny of John F. Kennedy

A revealing and breathtaking account about what happened to John F. Kennedy’s Patrol Torpedo boat 109, and the famous war story’s engrossing aftermath.” — James Patterson “Impressive…[An] engrossing combination of adventure and analysis…Doyle’s work has all the makings of a definitive account — the last word on the story. And as such, it’s a tale few are likely to forget.” — USA Today

“[A] fast-paced narrative…Dramatic and revealing.” — Kirkus Reviews

William Doyle reads from PT 109: An American Epic of War, Survival, and the Destiny of John F. Kennedy, the extraordinary World War II story of shipwreck and survival that paved John F. Kennedy’s path to power – hailed as a “breathtaking account” by James Patterson, “masterfully written” by historian Douglas Brinkley, and “the finest book” ever written on the subject by Lt. Commander William Liebenow, the man who rescued JFK and the PT 109 crew in August 1943.

William Doyle is the coauthor, with former U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, of American Gun: A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms. His other books include A Soldier’s Dream: Captain Travis Patriquin and the Awakening of Iraq, An American Insurrection, Inside the Oval Office, and A Mission from God (with James Meredith).
