Steve McQueen Would Be Proud
By: Steve Mitchell

(518 pages)

Reviewer:  Terry Miller

Overall Rating:  Four Stars - Highly recommended. An excellent book.

This is a coming-of-age story, navy style. A boot electronics technician, straight from ET school, reports aboard a guided missile destroyer, enroute to a WestPac Cruise. The time is toward the end of the Vietnam War, when racial tensions were erupting and the navy was changing nearly as fast as a nineteen-year-old boy matures to manhood. Steve McQueen Would Be Proud is a novel rich with the sights and smells of WestPac and a fine read for anyone who was ever young and in the navy.
