This is the second volume of the history written by former Baltimore Sun editor and current volunteer on the Liberty ship, John W. Brown , Ernest F. Imhoff. Through more than 200 interviews with fellow volunteers on the ship, Imhoff captures their adventures and life lessons in a colorful mosaic of hard work, volunteerism, camaraderie and inspiration. Imhoff's genius as an author lies not in his storytelling expertise for, after all, he is a professional journalist of long standing, but rather his prose relies on the charm, warmth, humanity and color he infuses into a nuts-and-bolts text that is at once captivating, inspiring and informative. He lets you peek into the insights of the many former crewmen and volunteer workers he interiewed to create this sprawling mosaic of human dedication, honor and sacrifice. More than anything else, the author takes you inside the emotions of those who brought a creaking old freighter back to life as he profoundly asks why do so many devote so much of their precious time and energy to an inanimate object like a Liberty ship. The answer may well astound you, as it did this reviewer. --Sea Classics, April 2007 Ernest Imhoff is a former editor of the Baltimore Sun and volunteer on the John W. Brown .
