Title: Great WWII Memoir
Review: Gene Fluckey recounts his missions aboard the USS "Barb" during World War II. Each Mission is very exciting and made me want to pull out my old copy of Sid Meier's "Silent Service" and go hunting Carriers and Oilers in the waters of S.E. Asia. I'm glad the Germans didn't think of his idea of welding a rocket launcher onto the Sub to send Nebelwerfers flying inshore. It might have changed the history of Operation Drumbeat.The commandos he sent ashore to run sabotage missions reads like something out of a Hollywood Movie.I'm surprised that Hollywood has not made the book into a film or that the History Channel hasn't snap it up for one of its programs. Fluckey's book is well written and keeps the reader interested. He presents the sense of danger and claustrophobia aboard the sub in a way that puts the Reader aboard with the crew.I would reccomend the book for anyone with an interest in history and submarines.
