This memoir is an intimate and often irreverent account of one
man's coming of age during World War II. Born a North Carolina
farmboy, Jones served as a naval sonarman aboard a wooden submarine
chaser operating from Africa and Sicily during the Allied invasions
at Anzio and Southern France. He also served as sonarman and yeoman
on two fleet mine sweepers in the Okinawa, Formosa and China
operations. This memoir is drawn not only from memory, but from the
author's surviving diaries from the conflicts, daily logs of the
three ships upon which he served, and the secret reports of
military commanders and other official records.
