Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE---------------------PACIFIC WAR DIARY 1942-1945 by James J. Fahey.

The book is the diary of a young seaman aboard the USS Montpelier during action in the Pacific from 1942 through 1945. He kept the diary a secret because it was against Navy regulations to keep such a document and it was only printed years after the war ended.

Written in the language of a sailor, it is gritty and real. Life aboard a ship during the war was days of sheer terror followed by weeks of endless boredom.

Read this book if you want to get a great perspective of the war from a sailor's point of view. A fantastic read!

Fahey conveys [what] thousands of his fellows have never managed to convey to wives or friends back home: this is what it was like. ( Time Magazine )
