One of the last unheralded heroic stories of World War II: the U-boat assault off the American coast against the men of the U.S. Merchant Marine who were supplying the European war, and one community’s monumental contribution to that effort, that is Mathews County, Virginia. Nearly every family in this tiny community had a personal stake in the U-boat war, none had a greater than that of Captain Jesse and Henrietta Hodges and their seven sons. -- Amazon.com
