Title: Pure Fiction
Product review: This comes across as a piece of fiction, a "yarn" spun by a sailor and turned into a book. Much of what is written in the book repeats itself, and since the "names and names of the ships were changed," it leaves you to wonder if it even happened at all. It all sounds exaggerated, to the point where you stop taking it seriously. Having been overseas during the Gulf War, I can tell you there is NO WAY two Merchant Seamen could have found Army uniforms and a jeep and snuck off the piers. Some of his stories are real, but it's about 60/40 with the fiction. Don't take this as a true account of life aboard an American Merchant Ship.
