Summary: dredged from watery depths
Review: The tension builds in this gripping true account of the journeys of a Liberty ship and its men during WWII. The prose is sparse and clean and it reads like a ship's log, with lots of attention to detail. We get a feel for the routine of shipboard life, and when it comes crashing apart, we are as disoriented as the crew. We also can sense the author/narrator's wonder and joy of working with these men on this ship.
