The Sonarman's War - A Memoir of Submarine Chasing and Mine Sweeping in World War II (Paperback, New)

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.
