Bluewater Sailor: The Memoirs of a Destroyer Officer

Rating:
Summary: Excellent action memoir.
Review: Commander Sheppard's work moves as fast as an actionnovel in his fine memoir as a mustang on his firstship as an officer.
Sheppard's skills and training are tested constantly by turf struggles and jealousies, but his innate abilities and determination win the hard-earned respect of fellow officers and crewmen alike.
As in his "Destroyer Skipper", Sheppard's work may be of interest primarily to those interested in U.S. Navy destroyer operations and shipboard life, but it may also be profitably read as a primer in leadership,
Highly recommended.

Summary: I could not put this book away.
Review: Once I turned the first few pages of the book, I was caught. The author tells his story in such a way that you always want to see what happens next. There are few, if any dull moments in this book, and if you like stories of life in the military, you will certainly like this book. I laughed, I cried, I got it on sale. END
