Set amidst the last two years of the Pacific war, this story follows a young, naïve Seabee (U.S. Naval Construction Battalions) from California to the harsh, tropical jungles of New Guinea and the Philippines. The war provides twenty-year-old Hal Arnold with his first venture into real life, where his youth and naivete are dashed and where reality and maturity emerge.
