I was hoping this book would cover the various mutinous events on Navy ships that occurred during the Vietnam War. Instead this book is really a memoir of the author's time on various ships during that time period. He was witness to some of the mutinous events, but the book doesn't focus a lot on that. The author also has an axe to grind with just about every President from Vietnam to the present day, which seriously distracts from the story.

Interesting account and review of this sailors time. I enjoyed the book, but there were times that it was rather hard to read, and grasp.

After starting this book and finding several factual errors in facts of when events occurred I considered not reading further. I checked to see who published the book. It appears to be a self-publishing house; I recommend they hire a few editors.

The book reads like a personal diary and not a historical work worth perusing. The author appears to be the cog that made everything on the ship run while everyone else, from the president on down were drunks, power hungry or ignorant. Reading on I finally quit at about the half way point.

As a retired Sailor, I would not recommend this book as an accurate picture of the Vietnam era Navy.

It was okay. I have read other bio's by Vietnam vets and this one falls a bit short. The author should have spent less time expanding on the lack of leadership of the CO (who is never named so its irrelevant) and more stories about life on a carrier
