Description -
This is the story of a motu, a pin point of Polynesia, drowsing in the Pacific, untouched by the war. This is the story of George Dodd, an American engineer from Detroit who lands on the tiny island with a blueprint in his pocket. This is the story of the transport Seabees and the bulldozers who came after him to convert the atoll into a coral carrier for American bombers.
