Beloved Infidel von Sheilah Graham
This was so good!!! I read it in preparation for a Last Days of F. Scott Fitzgerald walking tour in West Hollywood.
I read this one in one sitting! All the time, I felt as if I could smell the sweaty stink of bodies enclosed in a tin can for weeks on end, the terror of depth-charging, and the elation of sinking an enemy ship.
This is a barebones, but a very readable point of view story of Chief Radioman of the U.S.S Seawolf, J. M. Eckberg, as told by two well-founded writers. The story they weave together is one that keeps you on the edge of your seat through each patrol. And it ends, just as suddenly, as Chief Eckberg is released from duty in San Fransico during the Seawolf's last overhaul.
The story of the U.S.S Seawolf does not end there, as her next patrol was her last. Unfortunately, this book does tell of the tragic end of the heroic Seawolf by "Friendly Fire". Details of that patrol can be found on Wikipedia and in "Sink 'Em All" by Charles A. Lockwood, the Commander Submarines Asia Fleet under which the Seawolf sailed.
A great telling of one of the most famous submarines in WWII. Worth the read for any WWII Navy buff, submariner or not!… (mehr)

Hats off to the author - he took a topic that is usually of interest to just a smaller group (submarine-philes ) and kept it readable and engaging. Recommend anyone interested in human interest stories - don't need to be a submarine expert to enjoy reading this.
