In 1942-1943 Commander Bell (USNA 1924) commanded USS Grayson (DD 435) through some of the most intense action of the Pacific War. (He retired as a R. Admiral in 1947 after further wartime command tours and tours at BUPERS.) Back in the U.S. in mid-1943 he wrote this book, before the memories faded. I read it not long after and I recall vividly how it helped to shape my determination to become a naval officer.To think of this as a book of military history can be misleading; it's a personal experience of war from the perspective of a unit commander. He knew little of U.S. plans less of the enemy's, and writing in 1943 he had no way of knowing how it would all end. But if you want to know what it was really like then this is a great book.
The author says it best. Life on a WW2 Destroyer is 90% boredom and 10% bloodshed.That said its easy to find books about the 10%, but if you, like myself have always been curious about the daily goings on, the other 90%, then this is the book for you. Bell tells a very descriptive and no doubt very accurate accounting of the many different responsibilities your average sailor and officer is forced to learn and know by heart, many of which he hopes never to actually have to perform, most of these under dire circumstances. Having spent many hours at sea I can only imagine how warfare can complicate and compromise the already taxing job of running a large ocean going vessel. If anything this book increased the already great respect I have " for those in peril on the sea ."Despite a larger than normal number of typo errors, I would have given this book 3.5 stars if able.
I have been reading books about WWII, written by the participants. I really liked this book. The author takes you with him where-ever he goes. There is nothing stuffy between the covers. You meet many individuals, all working together to overcome difficulties. The author talks to you as a friend, and you see much of the day-to-day activities that make up the majority of the time spent in the service. You are introduced to many of his friends, shipmates, and commanders. They come alive as real, everyday people. The only negative comment that I have is that it ended rather too abruptly. The period covers the Solomon Islands activities. After Guadacanal, it abruptly ends. I would have liked to continue on. I imagine this gives you an idea on how good the publication is.
I'm so glad I read this important personal account of the history of what it was like to be on a destroyer in WWII. It captures the flavor of the men in that era -- including some things which by today's standards we might not express in the same way (for example his depiction of black sailors or soldiers, and the slang used in naming the enemy in that time period).I only give 4 instead of 5 stars because I would like to have read more details of particular engagements and tactics and less of his personal interactions with friends, but it's obvious that he was constrained by military rules of the time (he can't even give the name of the destroyer he commanded) and also that his friends were important to him - if not to history overall.Still, this is an invaluable window into the actual life and times and events and boredom during a heroic struggle against forces that threatened to oppress the world, and the bravery of those who stood on the decks of the 'fightingist ships.'
“Condition Red†is about the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Grayson DD-435 and her actions in the Solomon Islands area from May 1942 to early 1943. The account is written firsthand by Grayson’s Commanding Officer, LCDR Frederick J. Bell. The reader gets to know the ship, learns some naval history, and meets several members of the crew through this narrative. You are transferred for a while to the hot, damp, and often hostile area of the South Pacific during the early years of that war. The book is well written, and very entertaining. The Grayson was a great ship with a great crew. This is a great addition to my naval library. Grayson had just returned from Task Force 38 (the Doolittle Raid) and with a new Skipper, was reassigned to the Guadalcanal area for the next 8 months. Besides being a famous ship, she was built here at the Charleston Naval Shipyard (where I used to work) in 1940 and received 13 Battle Stars and a Navy Unit Commendation (Task Force 38) for her services in WWII. The book sits beside my model of this ship.I was pleased to find this book and rate it 5 stars for the entertainment and information I was able to gather from the volume.
This is an excellent memoir about life about a destroyer in World War 2. Written during the War, it is a day-to-day chronicle what life was like for the sailors and officers onboard the U.S.S. Grayson (referred to only as the G due to wartime censorship). You get a good idea of what morale was like and the hopes, fears, duties, and diversions of the crew. You also get a participant's eye view of various destroyer battles. Bell's prose is descriptive and captures the reader. However, there are a few times when he meanders from a straight chronological story and jumps to recollections of a different ship. You can tell that you are reading something akin to an officer's journal. But, go with it, it's a good read. You can get accounts of set piece named battles in more conventional history books. This book is about the feel of war for the sailors who were in it.
"Condition Red" by Frederick Bell describes battle action aboard the Navy Destroyer "G", during the early days of WWII in the Solomon Islands. It describes the shipboard life as well as the combat activity of the crew. One of the most excellent books of its kind.I like to peruse book authors to view their bios, but this book, written in 1943, had zero information. I Googled the author and found out that Bell retired from the Navy as an Admiral. For action in the South Pacific he was awarded the Navy Cross, one step below the Medal of Honor, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart. The Destroyer mysteriously referred to as "G" was the USS Grayson. After getting out of the Navy, he was a business executive and an Episcopal priest. He died in 1994 at the age of 91
