Book description
If you want to know what life on a WWII destroyer escort was like, then absolutely pick up this book. Its crammed with detail on everything from weaponry to plumbing—and yet in spite of all this detail it never loses the forward motion of a story, moving with the USS Abercrombie (DE-343) and her crew from building and commissioning through shakedown and training cruises, and on to operations in the Pacific. Beyond detail and accuracy, Stafford can really write—he provides the personal viewpoint of a young officer, but also manages to capture the character and mood of the whole ship and her crew. Descriptions of convoying tankers and screening escort carriers, fueling at sea, supporting shore invasions, the boredom of lying at anchor in an island harbor, occasional shenanigans among the crew, and the terror and exhaustion of being under kamikaze attack off Okinawa, are all vividly rendered. Its also a nice touch that the story is filled out a little by relating the experiences of a few of Abercrombies sister ships who were often just over the horizon during an operation, such as those in Taffy 3 in the Battle off Samar, or some who were not as fortunate as the Abercrombie on the harrowing radar picket line around Okinawa—but theyre woven in smoothly, without disrupting the flow of the narrative. Though I read this for research (and found a ton of useful information), my interest was held the entire time, and I even found myself getting a little choked up at the poignancy of the final pages of homecoming.Only one caveat: scattered strong profanity (kind of to be expected with sailors, I guess). The hardcover edition I read had one recurring typo through later chapters, putting 1944 where it should read 1945, but anybody who has a basic familiarity with WWII history should be able to spot that (a previous library patron had obligingly corrected it in my copy).
