Nothing Friendly In The Vicinity
by Claude C. Conner

Nothing Friendly in the Vicinity is the remarkable autobiography of an enlisted submariner and his harrowing experiences as a crew member of the submarine USS Guardfish (SS-217) during World War II. Conner's memoir highlights Guardfish's exciting early operations and documents deeply the four war patrols in which he personally participated. The Guardfish's history is marred with a horrendous "friendly-fire" tragedy, when the Guardfish's skipper misidentified and sunk USS Extractor (ARS-15) in a torpedo attack.

Pacific War Diary, 1942-1945
by James J. Fahey

Through the long naval campaign in the Pacific, an ordinary seaman defied regulations by surreptitiously compiling a diary on scraps of paper, writing it in secret when no one was looking. What Fahey recorded is a view of the war not found in history books--a vivid picture of an average sailor's daily life from the first taste of battle to the final desperate attacks by kamikaze pilots and Japanese suicide ships.
