Forgotten Young Men of the Merchant Marines in War Struggle
The New York longshoremen strike exposes thousands of young volunteers in the Merchant Marine who served before turning eighteen or to evade the draft. They faced submarine and air war danger, yet face no easy discharge or veterans rights and must follow union orders, risking jail or beatings if they protest.
