Along the way, he finds adventure, absurdity, and moments of unexpected grace. Gritty, funny, and unsentimental, the book offers a rare insider's look at the formative years of the Navy's most elite warriors and a generation that refused to live safely. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Ratliff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silver Bison Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798999676924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRatliff, Jack:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Raised in the remote West Texas town of Sonora, Jack Ratliff took undergraduate and law degrees from the University of Texas.
