Extensively researched, Mighty Midgets at War, accurately chronicles the history of the mighty midgets--Landing Craft Support Vessels--and the terror-filled duty into which sailors aboard them were thrust. Based exclusively on original ships' logs, official U.S. Navy action reports, translations of French Navy records, and correspondence and interviews with U.S. Navy personnel and Vietnamese naval officers, it follows the careers of these great ships from WWII to Vietnam and in several cases, following them to their eventual retirement or sale to other countries. Includes over 100 photos and illustrations.

"A vividly recounted chronicle history"
Written By: Midwest Book Review
From the World War II era engagements to the Vietnam years, Land Craft Support Vessels LCS(L) were a key element in the American naval domination of the seas. Military archivist Robin Rielly's Mighty Midgets At War: The Saga of the LCS(L) Ships From Iwo Jima To Vietnam is a vividly recounted chronicle history of these ships and the men who sailed them. We are also treated to the life history of some of these ships from their creation through their eventual retirement or sale to the fleets of other nations. The informative, engaging text is enhanced with more than one hundred period photos and illustrations. Mighty Midgets At War is a superlative contribution to military studies reading lists and history collections.
