Bathtub Admirals

Bathtub Admirals by Jeff Huber 311 pgs.

Jack Hogan and Buzz Rucci are in the Navy...Jack is climbing the ladder quickly, Buzz at a more realistic pace. You get the feeling Jack is destined for great things...until the politics of the military starts in on Jack and derails his career. This brief summary sounds so serious and yet this book is closer to hilarious. The way things work and the way people talk will make you feel like you are on the carrier with them. I took a look at the customer reviews on Amazon.com and the quantity of retired military who LOVED this book is a testament to the realistic way the odd reality of the military (really a problem in so many large organizations) works/does not work. I would love to read more by this author but this is his only book so far. - Christa
