5. "The Restless Wave: A Novel of the United States Navy" by James G. Stavridis

About a young man’s years at the Naval Academy, his service at Pearl Harbor and during WWII. My uncle graduated from the USNA in 1958, fellow graduates included John Poindexter and John McCain. It was the last class where midshipmen could elect to be commissioned in the USAF. My uncle did just that, poor KY boy didn’t know how seasick he could get until his first youngster cruise. It ended well for him, he retired as a half bird, worked another 10 years at the Pentagon and retired happily.

Have a safe week, it’s hotter than hell out there. 🔥🥵
