The Sonarman's War

“Jones’s book is as solidly researched as it is well written”—The North Carolina Historical Review; “this tale is a detailed view of a seaman’s life...Jones’ war is a microcosm of a thousand seamen’s wars, in a dozen navies and therein lies its value in recording history. Sometimes the larger histories fail to give a picture of what it was really like from day to day. This tale accomplishes that”—The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du Word; “a well-written account of one young man’s coming of age during World War II...highly recommend”—PCSA Newsletter; “offers a detailed description of the life of a sonarman aboard a wooden submarine chaser. The book will interest World War II buffs and particularly readers who would relish a first-person view of the war from the dicks of the small submarine chasers and minesweepers”—Reference & Research Book News.
