The US Navy's Patrol Torpedo (PT) boats were used in every theater of WWII, but they are most famous for their daring exploits in the South Pacific, where they were the US Navy's first line of defense against the "Tokyo Express," the nightly attacks of Japanese destroyers against American forces on Guadalcanal. Dark Nights, Deadly Waters tells the story of the first PT boats deployed to the fetid and malarial island of Tulagi, in the desperate early days of America's "island hopping" campaign across the Pacific.
