Review of Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War And Its Aftermath
This book follows the journey of Zachariah Martin, a small-town boy who joins the army to serve his nation. He is appointed as a "deck force" sailor, and through this role, the story unfolds depicting the stages of a sailor's life.
As the story progresses, we observe officials advancing to leadership roles with or without the limitations imposed on lower-class officials, coworkers supporting each other in crucial moments, the challenging conditions they face, and the risks involved in medical complications.
On the one hand, there are suffering people, slaughter, struggles, and the aftermath of war; on the other hand, there are individuals who simply aspire for victory and strive to achieve their goals in various ways, drawing strength from their experiences.
In the midst of conflict, there is a glimmer of love that gives hope to those serving. The author skillfully incorporated the essence of love into the story, intensifying the emotions to a greater extent. Separation from loved ones, waiting periods to meet again under the same sun, and unfavorable situations for their love story are highlighted in the novel.
On one side, soldiers dedicate their lives to serving their country, while their families ask for their lives to be protected. This element impacts us.
The technical section discusses the functioning of the naval force, its construction, how the ship's army tackles challenges, how assignments are completed, how officials are assigned responsibilities, the significance of roles, and their corresponding titles in the operations. The success of the mission is determined by a number of factors, all of which are discussed.
Now comes the heartbreaking part: the aftermath of a war. When there is a war, there are consequences, and Zach is on a roller coaster ride after the war. Throughout his journeys, we can see the post-war situation of army men who served their country.
They are emblems of bravery, representing sacrifice and adventure. They were applauded, humiliated, and sometimes their struggles were questioned. Even after the war, they continued to fight for the rights and justice of their country and fellow citizens. In addition to Zach's experiences, several significant characters offer insights before, during, and after the war, and officials operate both outside and inside the working environment.
In the category of historical fiction, this work deserves 5 stars. The author did an excellent job describing the dimensions of a young sailor in a gradual, extensive, and engaging manner.
The author's work is appreciated because the subject connects with us, embracing us with words, and encouraging us to experience their journey. In this regard, the author did a great job of allowing us to see the experiences of unsung heroes of the conflict.
When it comes to editing, they did a wonderful job of presenting clean work, allowing readers to enjoy a perfect reading experience.
