BATTLESHIP SAILOR (Mason)

Battleship Sailor" is a remarkable testament to the lives of the enlisted men aboard the battleship "California" as they move toward their destiny at Pearl Harbor. Much more than a memoir, it is an extraordinary social history that provides an invaluable record of a time of trial for the country and its navy. The author, Theodore C Mason, was himself a member of the "California" crew and later served aboard the "Pawnee". "One of the best and most readable memoirs of the US Navy at the onset of World War II" - "San Diego Union".
