Summary: Could have been better
Comment: Mason's a bit of an odd one, and obviously never got out of the Radio Shack, all to often. But my grandfather served aboard the Pawnee with him, and I learned a bit about what he went through during the war.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent telling of life in the Pacific Navy in WWII
Comment: Theodore Mason was a deckplate sailor in WWII. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor he was assigned to the USS Pawnee, a fleet tug based in the Pacific Islands. As a sailor in the modern day Navy I was enthralled by his account of life in a Navy torn between traditions and fighting a war. His account finds the mark as he relates the life of an enlisted sailor. His observations about his shipmates, the war, and the chain of command above him are shrewed and correct. This book is an excellent read for those interested in the lives of those who actually fought the war; the enlisted men and women of every service.
Rating: 1
Summary: Weird Book, Weird Author
Comment: The author has got to be the most unsympathetic character I have ever met. I honestly couldn't finish the book, even though I wanted to know what happened to the ship he was on. I hope someone else who was on one of the seagoing tugs during WWII has written their story.
