Description
This is a novel of service to the Country. Chief is the first of a trilogy that describes three generations of a family's service in the nation's wars. Chief brings accurate first hand descriptions of life aboard ship during the depression years and World War II, affording a view of naval operations from the deckplates of the engineering spaces and gun turrets up and reaching all the way to CinCPac's headquarters in Makalapa, Pearl Harbor and MacArthur in the Philippines, Australia and Japan. We follow a farm boy from Texas hill country through each ship in his career; and along the way the extraordinary contributions of the Navy bluejacket make the case for the Chief Petty Officer as the backbone of the Fleet.
