Get the hell off this ship!: Memoir of a USS Liscome Bay Survivor in World War II

English

James Claude Beasley tells his personal story of service in the US Navy during World War II. Born in 1924 he was a typical teenager in the 1940s, a product of the Great Depression. He possessed a firm commitment to family and country. His recollections of time in the Navy consumed his thoughts and actions and followed him throughout his life. Though he seldom spoke of those years, he wrote about them over a period of time, hoping his thoughts would have meaning to others, especially his children and grandchildren. The challenges he faced in the Pacific area from 1942-1945 are vividly told in his unique story-telling manner.

From his initial induction into military service in Winston Salem, NC, through the sinking of his ship, a baby carrier named USS Liscome Bay, to the end of the conflict and return to civilian life, he relates the events in a way you feel you are in the midst of all the happenings. His personal feeling are uppermost in his writings. How he dealt with discipline and commands, making important decisions, continuous dangers as well as strange dreams and deaths are all personal matters he had to face. If you did not know James Claude Beasley before reading his memoirs you will feel like you know him when you reach the end of his recollections. See more
