On April 16, 1945, the crewmen of the USS Laffey were battle hardened and prepared. Using scores of personal interviews with survivors, the memoirs of crew members, and the sailors' wartime correspondence, historian and author John Wukovits breathes life into the story of this nearly forgotten historic event.
The US Navy described the kamikaze attack on the Laffey "as one of the great sea epics of the war." In 'Hell from the Heavens', the author makes the ordeal of the Laffey and her crew a story for the ages.
