Totally Random Non-Fiction Tuesday

Since going through school and never quite getting to World War II (or just barely getting there) in US History class I’m always looking for more good books about the war that don’t just tell the stories that are the humongous ones, but, like this book, the stories that get lost in the shuffle sometimes.

Edward C. Raymer was in the US Navy and was a salvage diver who was given the assignment to rescue the sailors who were trapped inside the sinking ships at Pearl Harbor after December 7th.

I was reading it at the beginning of the month, while the boys were being rescued from the caves in Taiwan, and, it struck me just how much what Raymer and what the Thai Navy SEALS were doing was alike. Raymer and those he led hadn’t dove in the exact conditions that they were going into as they first tried to rescue sailors, and then rescue technology. It was black. They had the blueprints hopefully memorized, as their sense of touch, but, they also had yet another thing that was always in the back of their minds as they dove. Would there be another attack?

Honestly, Raymer and his crew saved a bunch of ships both at Pearl Harbor, and then at other battles that happened at sea too. Another important part of the war effort that not I know that I didn’t know about. And I definitely think it’s a must read for that reason.
