A History Of Alaska
Barge And Transport
In South China Sea
PAC, 400 Norton Building, Se-
attle, Wash. 98104, has published a
paper-covered book entitled "Tow-
boats to the Orient." The 100-page
book was written by Robert S.
Mansfield and William L. Worden.
Ostensibly, this book is a com-
prehensive history of the fullfill-
ment of a contract. In reality, this
is a narrative, complete with many
pictures, of a most unlikely assign-
ment, based upon a most unusual
contract and accomplished, to date,
in an unorthodox and ultimately
successful manner. It is the story
of a branch of the military service
realizing that a group of profes-
sional civilians, highly motivated
and experienced in all phases of
the operation, could do a necessary
job at a saving to the military and
a profit to themselves.
This book is the narrative history
of Alaska Barge and Transport,
Inc. in Viet Nam in document
form. It was compiled from the
records of the United States Navy
and of Alaska Barge and Trans-
port. It also contains considerable
statistical data.
