New Release Tells True Stories of Navy Enlisted Submariners on Patrol in the Pacific During World War II; Book by Stephen Leal Jackson, Released by Dog Ear Publishing
More than 3,500 men, more than 23 percent of the American submarine force, never returned from their World War II missions. Their submarines had few crew comforts, and duty on "the boats" was one of the most statistically deadly, physically demanding and emotionally challenging assignments for those serving in the U.S. Navy. This book recounts the real story of these undersea warriors, told by the men who lived it.
East Lyme, CT, July 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- More than 3,500 men, more than 23 percent of the American submarine force, never returned from their World War II missions. Their submarines had few crew comforts, and duty on “the boats” was one of the most statistically deadly, physically demanding and emotionally challenging assignments for those serving in the U.S. Navy. War patrols were so exhausting that submarine sailors were often given a month of rest after each 30- to 60-day patrol. With all the hardships, one might think the Navy would have trouble finding recruits. However, the men worked long, trained hard, and used their wits to fight for a coveted place on the front line of the Pacific war.
The Men: American Enlisted Submariners in World War II, published by Dog Ear Publishing, recounts the real story of these undersea warriors, told by the men who lived it. The author’s interviews with submarine veterans allow these unique and important stories to be told from first-hand reports. Descriptions of depth charge attacks, crew activities and traditions, and even capture by the enemy add thrilling details to this rich historical account. Never-before-published photographs and informative charts provide a unique glimpse into the conditions faced by these brave enlisted men. Readers will be hooked by this examination of the men who lived, fought and died on the front lines of World War II’s Pacific submarine war.
Stephen Leal Jackson, a U.S. Navy veteran, served on the submarines USS Los Angeles (SSN688) and USS Florida (SSBN728). His service included several Western Pacific cruises to many of the very places described in his book. Jackson earned a master’s degree in American and European history from Providence College and is pursuing a Ph.D. at Salve Regina University.
