Last night, I stopped by the bookstore to look up a new book about the Four Chaplains. (Amazon also lists a novel based on the story, and a related book.) I knew the story and most of the details already, but it never fails to get to me, even reading it online. This book is quite good- the author seems to specialize in books about ship sinkings where there weren't rescues for tactical reasons, and so focuses on that as well, but he presents a good overall picture. Here are a couple of other sites on the Chaplains. More people should know their story.
-The story.
-The "official" site (for want of a better term).
-On the special medal.
New comments format, and some other tweaks. Let's see what happens...

there have been many Chaplains during WW2 whose stories have not yet been told... this book is excellent in that it will show that there is a forum for people to explore these stories... may it be the first of many more!
