Book Details + Condition: Little, Brown and Company (Boston). First Edition, 1958. 282 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Signed by the authors, George Grider (as told to Lydel Sims), on the front free endpaper. From the jacket: WAR FISH is a story of the service that sank more than half the tonnage destroyed in the Pacific in World War II - the U.S. Navy's submarines. Captain Grider, veteran of five submarines and nine patrols, tells of this heroic service as he lived it, and of the mystery, romance and loneliness that bound together the men who were responsible for it. Tight binding; light shelf wear to boards, with fading to edges; toning to endpapers; interior is clean and free of markings save authors' signatures on front free endpaper. Dust jacket shows wear, with rips and tears; it holds the book firmly.
