4.0 out of 5 stars
Very genuine and insightful story-telling, June 7, 2001
This review is from: Authors at Sea: Modern American Writers Remember Their Naval Service (Hardcover)
This book appealled to me on several levels due to the fact that I am both a sea-going serviceman and a budding author. I actually bought it for entertainment during my last patrol. I found that a lot of the events and opinions related closely to my own. It is full of action packed, funny, and violent stories of hope, freedom, and honor.

First Rate and First Hand Writings, December 21, 2004
This review is from: Authors at Sea: Modern American Writers Remember Their Naval Service (Hardcover)
This gem of a small book is a wonderful compilation of reminisences of a few great, not so great, famous and not so famous people who served our nation at sea during war and peace. My favorite is Alex Haley's essay on The Most Unforgettable Character.... This is a great short read, wonderfully informative and chock full of great personal stories.
