Pacific War diary, 1942-1945

The great merit of Mr. Fahey's diary is that it gives the American bluejacket's point of view about the naval war in the Pacific, with all its glory and horror, achievement and boredom; it tells how sailors felt going into battle, their opinions of their officers, their hunger off Okinawa when the long logistics line grew thin, and their fortitude in meeting the menace of the Kamikaze Corps.

  • "A sailor's account of his experiences during World War II describes events in the Pacific and his reaction to the war."@en
  • "Narratives of war by statesmen, generals and politicians are abundant, but very few accounts are given by the ordinary soldiers who have fought our wars. James Fahey was a Seaman First Class on the U.S.S. Montpelier in the Pacific arena during World War II -- an ordinary seaman who religiously kept a diary. During his time in the Pacific, he made many entries in his diary...sailors' feelings going into battle, opinions of their officers, being tired and hungry. He communicated an image of war -- the glory, the horror and everything in between."@en
