George Larsen was born in San Francisco, California on February 21,
1918, the son of Danish immigrants. His World War II memoir is
laced with fine storytelling, engaging wit and everyday
observations that allow the reader to enter the serviceman's world
as our country approached the day of infamy, Dec 7, 1941. Larsen
joined the Coast Guard on October 29, 1939, and four months later
was transferred to the Hawaiian Islands where he became a radio
operator. He was engaged in intercepting Japanese military code for
US Navy Intelligence while stationed at the Diamond Head Radio
Station. He was at this radio station during the Pearl Harbor
Attack on December 7, 1941. During World War II Larsen traveled
around the world, through the South Pacific, Tasmania Sea, Indian
Ocean, Red Sea, Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea. He spent time
in Calcutta, India and La Havre, France. Larsen tells his story so
that you feel you are sitting across the table from him. You feel
the peril and laugh with the good times as he recounts life for the
enlisted man during World War II. His storytelling reminds the
reader that we all need to enjoy life, even during time of war.
