James Claude Beasley was a typical American teenager in the 1940s--a child of the Great Depression with an abiding commitment to family and country. With the outbreak of World War II, he enlisted in the Navy at 18.
His plainspoken, personal memoir recounts three years of service (1942-1945), from his induction at Winston Salem, North Carolina, to the sinking of his ship, the escort carrier USS Liscome Bay, by a Japanese submarine, through the end of the conflict and his return to civilian life.
The late James Claude Beasley worked in the North Carolina public school system as a teacher, coach, principal and superintendent. A retired teacher, Elsie L. Beasley lives in Newland, North Carolina.
