There was a rude awakening for him, to shape up to the facts of life on a warship in a time of war. Learning to be in harm's way and survive. Relive your WWII memories with a fellow veteran or experience what someone you loved experienced. If one of your loved ones experienced the war in the Pacific, learn and gain new perspective of what it was like for them. If you have someone who doesn't respect the power of war, you need this book to help enlighten them as to the real hell of living on a battleship. Proud, very proud to be one of the 'greatest generation!' |
