Very enjoyable story about the coast guard during world war 2. Simply written, occasionally trashy (with sex scenes). Oddly political in places. Fun.
I liked Alvin Woods, the main character, and his coming of age troubles.
I found this book in Perth at an antique store. I took it on vacation with me to Guanajuato, Mexico. And I am now leaving it in the hotel where I am staying. I think the title alone is confusing and appealing enough that people might read it.

one of the best books ever written. an epic tome of the old Coast Guard and better days and even better men. Back in those days they eventually figured out how to deal with bastards. Now they just win.
