Reviewers Love It!

At the end of this five-year adventure with Captain Sotos, the reader has come to like him and his calm, matter-of-fact sea stories that capture life at sea in the war. ... Living With the Torpedo is a small classic.
Admiral James Stavridis
Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander

 

Loved it! An insightful first-hand account of life (and anti-sub wafare) during WWII. ... A fast, fun and interesting read for anyone who wants to know more about life on a destroyer escort, about our greatest generation, or about how depth charges work...and lots more. Tom Hanks may be coming out with a movie about this, but Captain Sotos lived it!

Deftly mixes strategic detail with a healthy amount of humanity. A terrific reminder of how young, yet how capable, our armed forces often are.
