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.
