A review by miramichireader
Battleship Sailor by Theodore C. Mason

5.0

I rated this 5 stars, but with an asterisk: this book will mainly appeal to naval history buffs and those wanting to read a first hand account of December 7, 1941. As well as being an autobiographical account, it is also a slice of social history: what life was like onboard a battleship as well as what shore leave was like, both in Honolulu and stateside.
Mr Mason writes very well, is introspective at times, but never boring. A great addition to my nautical bookshelf, and highly recommended.
