The author has written three books about his time on various ships in the war. This book concentrates on his time on the USS Pawnee but it also looks at his entire WW II career over-all. The USS Pawnee was a Fleet Tug that saw much active service in the Pacific. From a Book Review: I read the author's Battleship Sailor, which tells of his naval career up to and including Pearl Harbor, on Mar 16, 2015. This book ranges over all the rest of his time in the Navy, most of which was spent on the USS Pawnee, which had an extremely active time in the South Pacific, as well as telling some additional re Pearl Harbor. As in the earlier book, Mason is quite caustic as to some of the officers under whom he served, but also tells of the good officers he had. He quotes from accounts of some of those officers--I'd have preferred his own account, but it looked like he was trying to make enough pages for this third book. His account of the very limited knowledge of other enlisted men is sobering, and from my own experience in the Navy I know he is right when he says some of the EMs' prime interest outside of their naval duties is drunkenness and sex. So one has to admire his attitude though it seems he fit in pretty well with the limited views of his fellow sailors. And his comments on some of the abuses of officers in regard to enlisted men appear well taken.
