James Claude Beasley tells his personal story of service in the US Navy during World War II. From his initial induction into military service, through the sinking of his ship, the USS Liscome Bay, to the end of the conflict and return to civilian life, he relates the events in a way you feel you are in the midst of all the happenings.
James Claude Beasley was a typical American teenager in the 1940s--a child of the Great Depression with an abiding commitment to family and country. With the outbreak of World War II, he enlisted in the Navy at 18.
His plainspoken, personal memoir recounts three years of service (1942-1945), from his induction at Winston Salem, North Carolina, to the sinking of his ship, the escort carrier USS Liscome Bay, by a Japanese submarine, through the end of the conflict and his return to civilian life.
