Samenvatting

In 1961, Charles Gallagher graduated from the Naval Academy at the age of 20. Little did he know that after his first ship completed a Mediterranean cruise, it would be the first ship to leave port under emergency Top Secret orders for a mission that turned out to be the Cuban Missile Crisis . . . and that he would be part of an unfolding, thrilling, terrifying scenario that involved forcing a Russian submarine to surface. And that amazing story is only one of the remarkable exploits described in this gripping memoir. Follow Charles as he searches for a lost hydrogen bomb, obeys surprise orders to transfer to a US submarine in the middle of the Atlantic, accepts an assignment to be embedded in a Vietnamese River Assault Group, and more. Although Captain Gallagher left active duty in 1970, his memories of service are as vivid and compelling as a Tom Clancy novel-and better yet, every word is true!
