Andrew Jackson Higgins is perhaps the most forgotten hero of the Allied victory. He designed the LCVP and the first effective tank landing craft, and his shipyard produced more than 20,000 boats for Allied forces. Jerry Strahan's biography of Higgins reveals a colorful, controversial character -- hard fisted, hard swearing, and hard drinking -- who was an outsider to New Orleans' elite social circles. He was also, however, a hardworking boatbuilder who became a major industrialist with a worldwide reputation -- even Hitler was aware of Higgins, calling him the new Noah.This biography is about Andrew Jackson Higgins who designed the LVCP and the first effective tank landing craft, and his shipyard that produced over 20,000 boats for Allied forces.
