Pete Booth, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and the Stanford Graduate School of Business, served in a wide mix of ships and carrier-based Navy fighter squadrons flying (mostly) the F4 Phantom – including command of the Red Rippers and the nation’s first super carrier, the USS Forrestal during the 1970s. Following retirement from the Navy, he was president of two publicly-owned maritime companies and later returned to the sea as a part-time civilian master of ocean-going research vessels. Living in the navy town of Pensacola with his long-time wife Carolyn, he still flies his tiny airplane at a blazing 150 mph and plus three Gs.

Three decades of the Cold War: Destroyer bridge in the Pacific — Navy carrier-based fighter pilot — Pentagon flashbacks — Carrier command — Forrestal fire — Nuclear blackbook — Soviet subs — Thousands of real sailors and naval aviators — Families left behind — Vietnam — Sea stories galore — Inspirational leadership times several hundred — Doing the tough job 24/7. Written in an easy, non-tutorial and anecdotal style, these journals capture the spirit and intensity of the most perilous and dangerous years in the history of our country — The Cold War from the mid-fifties to the mid-eighties.
