A fairly unique account of destroyer action around Guadalcanal during 1942. There is also some treatment of the author’s time on the cruiser Boise at the outbreak of war. Well written and covers a lot of aspects of the lives of destroyer life, admittedly from the top down view of a CO. It was released during the war so there are many omissions due to wartime censorship. The fate of the Juneau might be the most glaring. Good read and highly recommended.

Menzioni
"Condition Red" was an expression that we used to indicate the imminence of any type of engagement. Aboard the G it was a colloquialism that served to express the conviction that the next few hours or days or weeks were going to be packed with action. We first heard it soon after we arrived in the Solomons, where the term was used on Guadalcanal and Tulagi to indicate the approach of the enemy, and when our voice radio blared out the words we went to General Quarters and prepared to greet the Tokyo Express or the Zeros and Mitsubishis when they came within view.Frederick J.
