A Hell of a War

Rating:
Summary: An Entertainer as History.
Review: Entertainers have for many years portrayed individuals of historical significance. In " A Hell of a War" Mr. Fairbanks relates his activities during World War II as a naval officer. The book became more interesting when he became involved with Lord Mountbatten's Combined Operations Command raids. With remarkable sublty Mr. Fairbanks relates his participation in the development of a U.S. Navy unit named the Beach Jumpers. Based in Little Creek, VA. this unit came latter to be known as the SEALS. A fact that has been verified by former SEALS, and is not common knowledge outside of that organization.
