Review

I appreciated the author’s attention to not just detail, but the actual perspective of the people, It made this an authentic account. They kept the stories ones that showed the service and how the men involved excelled at their duty. An insight into the demanding submarine career that was eye-opening. 

About the Author

Charles Hood is a Physician in South Carolina. He is the principal author of 7 of the 8 books in the Poopie Suits Series of True Stories, not fiction, from the US Submarine Force. Covering decades and wars and the Cold War, these stories offer insight into the severe world of the men (and now women) living inside a steel tube designed to sink.  What were the pressures they faced, the close calls, the unique encounters in ports, how did their families cope?  These subjects, and a whole lot more are covered in the Poopie Suits Series.

Frank Hood served on a nuclear submarine from 1968-1972 and his story "Poopie Suits & Cowboy Boots - Tales from a Submarine Officer During the Height of the Cold War"  was his story.  Surviving an odd interview with VADM Hyman G. Rickover was the first test.  His story interweaves with the culture of the time, the Vietnam War, campus protests, the race with the Soviets to build deeper diving, quiter submarines, and a lot more.
