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.
