Crossing the Line: A Bluejacket's Odyssey in World War II

The author had a PhD in English from Yale, and waited until he had retired to write his WW II Memoir. The quality of the writing, and the insight of a 65 year old man looking back on his 4 years as a sailor in the U.S. Pacific fleet from 1941-45, made this a remarkable book. He arrived at Pearl Harbor on December 8, 1941, aboard the fleet carrier U.S.S Enterprise (yes, that ship) and sailed past the wreckage of Battleship Row. The following year he was evacuated from the wrecked and sinking fleet carrier U.S.S. Hornet. He ended the war with a visit to Nagasaki and Tokyo Bay. In between he spent a lot of time wondering if he would live to his next birthday. What a wonderful story, full of rich details about the thoughts and circumstances of an America at war. I was sad that the book ended, but overjoyed that he survived to lead such a rich life.
