This sailor's memoir leads from the U.S. Navy's peacetime "Pineapple Fleet" in Pearl Harbor to a secret convoy transporting the "Flying Tigers" to Asia. After the disaster at Pearl Harbor, his ship raids Japanese bases in the central Pacific. He watches Doolittle's bombers take off from the Hornet to bomb Tokyo, then proceeds to the carrier air battles of Midway and Santa Cruz. At Guadalcanal he is wounded when his ship sinks. From hospitals in New Zealand he moves to New Guinea, then to a destroyer at Okinawa, shooting at kamikazes. Post-war service in China and Japan round out his story.

Desert Sailor: Growing up in the Pacific Fleet 1941-1946
Benedict Arnold = traitor. We all know this. This book details "before", when he was a courageous and valiant patriot, the leader of the Arnold Expedition, the ill-fated attempt to capture Quebec in late 1775. This well-written, sympathetic book describes the harrowing trek of the group of hand picked volunteers who walked from Maine to Canada and then their ultimately unsuccessful attack on the well/defended city of Quebec. Daniel Morgan and Aaron Burr also have featured roles in this.
