출판사 설명
Rockwell Terry is a career naval captain who has served since WWI. Now is the dawn of another world war as his ship patrols outside Pearl Harbor. He leads a sheltered life, goes nowhere and sees no one. With the outbreak of the war, his past begins to emerge.
This book was the basis for the 1965 Otto Preminger film IN HARM'S WAY featuring John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Dana Andrews, Patricia Neal, Henry Fonda and others. Bassett served on the staff of Rear Admiral "Bull" Halsey, and later managed three of Richard Nixon's political campaigns. The book examines critically and at close quarters the U.S. Navy he knew well from his own experiences - having achieved captain's rank and been awarded a Bronze Star for his services.

Harms way
 This is a classic example of the book being better than the movie. So if you enjoyed the movie with John Wayne……
This is a good one. Really good.
This is a truly gripping tale that has great characters, and authentic detail. While the Otto Preminger movie was also good, this book tells a better story,
As good as, maybe better than, the movie....
Terrific book, realistically written. Like reading a well-written history, but with the novelist's flair for character and tone. Thoroughly enjoyable. Both the book and the movie based on it are among the best WWII epics.
