This collection of stories is a nostalgic and compelling picture of men serving with the U S Navy during World War II. With disarming insight into the laughter and pain, Spartan discomfort, monotony, lack of privacy, and never-ending threats that make war what it is, Forester steers a tight course for the truth, action, and entertainment. You will be a witness to courage and discipline amid great danger and the ever-present threat of death. This is a great collection, showing once more the Forester talent for telling a fine story and telling it well.
