    Can Do!, first published in 1944, is a fascinating account of the formation and Second World War activities of the U.S. Navy 'Seabees' (from 'C.B.' - construction battalion). The book covers projects of the Seabees throughout the South Pacific, the Aleutian Islands, and in Italy, as well as numerous personal stories of the men as they faced enemy attacks, for example, while attempting to construct vital island runways. Their skill and competence in critical trades such as construction, engineering, pipe-laying, electricity, and plumbing, and their positive 'Can Do!' attitude in the face of danger and difficult conditions were critical in the Allied effort to win the war and remain an inspiration to younger generations. This unabridged reprint edition includes 70 pages of drawings and photographs of Seabee activities throughout the world.

    When William Bradford Huie, a reporter for H. L. Mencken's American Mercury, joined the US Navy in 1943, he received a commission as a public relations officer in the little-known Civil Engineer Corps' Construction Battalions - the Seabees - and the following year published this account of their landing with the Marines at Guadalcanal and Wake Island, Sicily and Salerno.
