The Order of the Deep: a Story of the Pacific Battles in World War II

This work is a novel based partially on the experience of the author who served as a Naval officer in the Pacific during World War II. The narrative portrays the typical experience endured by officer candidates in the USNR Midshipmen Schools of the U. S. Navy during the war. The story not only demonstrates the academic and physical training to which the midshipmen were subjected to obtain their Navy commissions, but also the training stress endured by them to learn their respective jobs. In the case of the principal in this story, he assumes the very dangerous task of an assault boat officer who works in the various phases of amphibious warfare, i.e. reconnaissance raids, elimination of underwater obstructions and beach assault. The tale outlines the details and interesting aspects of some of the noteworthy operations in the Pacific campaigns and this includes not only some horrific incidents along with some very humorous occurrences as well. The novel also portrays the low morale experienced by Ensign Baron who hears little word from the home front during the time that he is exposed to deadly events in the war-zone and how he tries to deal with this scenario while conducting his perilous duties.
