Antisubmarine Warrior in the Pacific

Reviewer: 
Dr. V.H. Schumacher

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

A look back in time to the period of the Great Depression and World War II and their impact on one young man from his formative years growing up in a small town in Alabama to his command of the USS ENGLAND (DE-635). The author presents vivid portrayals of his shipmates, of the periods of quiet and of those hours of anticipation and terror in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during the war. Especially impressive are the descriptions of how this small but tough ship and her crew sank six Japanese submarines in twelve days, road out a typhoon, and survived a direct hit by a Kamikaze carrying a 500 pound bomb.
