"In this colorful operational history of the U.S. Navy's destroyers and destroyer escorts in World War II, Theodore Roscoe pays tribute to the workhorses of the fleet that served in every theater of the war. As submarine hunters, convoy escorts, troop transports, radar pickets, rescue vessels, blockade runners, bombardment ships, and much more, these remarkably versatile ships-and the crews who manned them-took part in more operations than any other type of ship in the U.S. Navy. This is their story of the war." -- Front jacket flap.

Lee Harrington, the central figure of the novel, is a young man trying to sort out his memories of the tales of the Civil War told him by his grandfather and his father, and to imagine what their lives must have been like, and what the War had done to them. The tale ranges from past to present, from Gettysburg and Savage's Station and Shiloh to present-day Kansas. Pennell employs a fragmented, interior-monologue narrative style, giving his reader a view of the War as his characters must have experienced it, and he does it with amazing control.
