In this short volume, Captain Dornin, a highly successful World War II submarine skipper with nine successive war patrols, discusses his wartime service as aide to Chief of Naval Operations Ernest J. King. Among the topics he covers regarding Admiral King are a meeting with General De Gaulle, a hair-raising tour of Allied holdings in the Central Pacific before they were totally secured, and the admiral's attitude toward the use of the atomic bomb to end the war.
